We look at the division of 49839780 by 988 
We want to figure out the number of times 49839780 can be divided by 988.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 988 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 988

On to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 988, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 988

Going ahead to step 3:
498 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 498.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 498, we get 498.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 498, then repeat: 4983 / 988

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 988 fits into 4983 5 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4940 from 4983 leaves us with 43.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 439 / 988

On to step 5:
The number 988 fits into 439 0 times, leaving a remainder of 439.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 439, we end up with 439.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 439 and repeat the process: 4397 / 988

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 988 fits into 4397 4 times, leaving a remainder of 445.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 504.0
Subtracting 3952 from 4397 leaves us with 445.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 445, then repeat: 4458 / 988

On to step 7:
The number 988 fits into 4458 4 times, leaving a remainder of 506.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5044.0
The remainder is 506 after subtracting 3952 from 4458.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 506 and continue with: 5060 / 988

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 5060 by 988, we get 5 and a remainder of 120.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50445.0
Subtracting 4940 from 5060 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 1200 by 988, we get 1 with a remainder of 212.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50445.1
Subtracting 988 from 1200 leaves us with 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
2120 divided by 988 is 2 with a remainder of 144.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50445.12
If we subtract 1976 from 2120, we get 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
988 goes into 1440 1 times with a remainder of 452.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50445.121
If we subtract 988 from 1440, we get 452.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 4520 by 988, we get 4 with a remainder of 568.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50445.1214
Deduct 3952 from 4520 and we're left with 568.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5680, and continue the process.

Step 13:
988 goes into 5680 5 times with a remainder of 740.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50445.12145
If we take 4940 away from 5680, we end up with 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
988 goes into 7400 7 times with a remainder of 484.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50445.121457
Subtract 6916 from 7400 to get 484.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
988 goes into 4840 4 times with a remainder of 888.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 50445.1214574
If we take 3952 away from 4840, we end up with 888.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8880, and continue the process.

Step 16:
988 goes into 8880 8 times with a remainder of 976.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50445.12145748
Subtract 7904 from 8880 to get 976.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9760, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 50445.12145748 with a balance of 9.76e-07.
