We're dividing 981559 by 49 
We want to divide 981559 by 49.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 49

Step 2:
The number 49 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 98 from 98.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 1 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 49

On to step 4:
15 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 200.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 155 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
49 can be fit into 155 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2003.0
Deduct 147 from 155 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 49

On to step 6:
49 can be fit into 89 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20031.0
Subtracting 49 from 89 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
400 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20031.8
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20031.81
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 310 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20031.816
Deduct 294 from 310 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 49 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20031.8163
If we take 147 away from 160, we end up 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.

Step 11:
The number 49 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20031.81632
Subtract 98 from 130 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20031.816326
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 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 13:
If we divide 260 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20031.8163265
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 245 from 260.
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 14:
49 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20031.81632653
Deduct 147 from 150 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20031.81632653 with a balance of 3e-09.
