We look at the division of 49888717 by 257 
Our goal is to divide 49888717 by 257.

Let's proceed to step 1:
257 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 257

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 498 / 257

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 498 by 257, we get 1 with a remainder of 241.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 257 from 498 leaves us with 241.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 241 and continue with: 2418 / 257

Going ahead to step 4:
2418 divided by 257 is 9 with a remainder of 105.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 2313 from 2418 and we're left with 105.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 105, then carry on: 1058 / 257

Step 5:
When dividing 1058 by 257, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 194.0
Subtract 1028 from 1058 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 307 / 257

Advancing to step 6:
257 goes into 307 1 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1941.0
If we take 257 away from 307, we end up with 50.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 501 / 257

Step 7:
When dividing 501 by 257, we get 1 with a remainder of 244.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19411.0
Subtracting 257 from 501 leaves us with 244.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 244 and continue: 2447 / 257

Step 8:
257 can be fit into 2447 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 134.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 194119.0
The remainder is 134 after subtracting 2313 from 2447.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 257 fits into 1340 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 194119.5
If we subtract 1285 from 1340, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 550 by 257, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 194119.52
Deduct 514 from 550 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
257 can be fit into 360 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 103.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 194119.521
The remainder is 103 after subtracting 257 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 257 fits into 1030 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 194119.5214
Subtracting 1028 from 1030 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
20 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 194119.5214
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 200.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 194119.5214
If we take 0 away from 200, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

The final result is 194119.5214 with a remainder of 2e-05.
