We're dividing 252863 by 49 
Our goal is to divide 252863 by 49.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 49 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 49

On to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 49

Step 3:
49 goes into 252 5 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 245 from 252 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 49

Let's proceed to step 4:
49 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 49 from 78 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 49

On to step 5:
49 goes into 296 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 516.0
If we take 294 away from 296, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 49

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 23 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5160.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
49 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5160.4
Deduct 196 from 230 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
340 divided by 49 is 6 with a remainder of 46.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5160.46
Subtracting 294 from 340 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
49 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5160.469
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 441 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
190 divided by 49 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5160.4693
Subtracting 147 from 190 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
49 can be fit into 430 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5160.46938
Subtracting 392 from 430 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
380 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5160.469387
Subtracting 343 from 380 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
370 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5160.4693877
If we subtract 343 from 370, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5160.4693877 with a remaining 2.7e-07.
