We're dividing 12373 by 49 
We want to divide 12373 by 49.

Advancing to step 1:
49 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 49

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 49 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 123 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 49 fits into 123 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 98 away from 123, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 49

On to step 4:
257 divided by 49 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 245 from 257 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 123 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
49 can be fit into 123 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 252.0
Deduct 98 from 123 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 250 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 252.5
Subtract 245 from 250 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 50 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 252.51
Deduct 49 from 50 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
10 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 252.51
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
49 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 252.5102
If we subtract 98 from 100, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 252.5102
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 49, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 252.510204
Deduct 196 from 200 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
49 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 252.510204
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 252.51020408
Subtract 392 from 400 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 252.51020408 with a balance of 8e-09.
