We're dividing 74978 by 49 
Let's see how many times 49 fits into 74978.

On to step 1:
The number 49 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 49

Let's proceed to step 2:
49 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 49 from 74 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 49

On to step 3:
49 goes into 259 5 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 245 from 259 to get 14.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 147 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
147 divided by 49 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 153.0
Deduct 147 from 147 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 49

Advancing to step 5:
49 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1530.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 6:
80 divided by 49 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1530.1
Subtracting 49 from 80 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 49, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1530.16
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 294 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 49, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1530.163
Subtracting 147 from 160 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
49 can be fit into 130 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1530.1632
Subtracting 98 from 130 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 49 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1530.16326
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
49 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1530.163265
If we take 245 away from 260, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 49, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1530.1632653
Subtracting 147 from 150 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 49 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1530.1632653
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1530.1632653 with a balance of 3e-08.
