851981 divided by 49 
We want to figure out the number of times 851981 can be divided by 49.

Let's proceed to step 1:
49 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 49

On to step 2:
85 divided by 49 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 49 from 85 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 361 / 49

Going ahead to step 3:
49 goes into 361 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 343 from 361 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 49

Going ahead to step 4:
49 goes into 189 3 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtracting 147 from 189 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 49

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 428 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1738.0
Subtract 392 from 428 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 361 / 49

Step 6:
49 goes into 361 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17387.0
Subtracting 343 from 361 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 49, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17387.3
Subtracting 147 from 180 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 8:
330 divided by 49 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17387.36
If we take 294 away from 330, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 49, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17387.367
Deduct 343 from 360 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
49 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17387.3673
If we subtract 147 from 170, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 230 by 49, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17387.36734
Subtracting 196 from 230 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 49, we get 6 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17387.367346
If we take 294 away from 340, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
460 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17387.3673469
Subtract 441 from 460 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 49 fits into 190 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17387.36734693
Subtract 147 from 190 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

The final result is 17387.36734693 with a remainder of 4.3e-08.
