We look at the division of 49873459 by 29 
We want to figure out the number of times 49873459 can be divided by 29.

Step 1:
The number 29 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 29

Moving on to step 2:
29 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 29 from 49.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 29

On to step 3:
29 goes into 208 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 203 from 208 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 29

Step 4:
The number 29 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 29 from 57.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 283 / 29

Step 5:
If we divide 283 by 29, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1719.0
Deduct 261 from 283 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 29

On to step 6:
29 goes into 224 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17197.0
Subtract 203 from 224 to get 21.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 215 / 29

Step 7:
29 goes into 215 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171977.0
Deduct 203 from 215 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 29

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 29 fits into 129 4 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1719774.0
If we take 116 away from 129, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
130 divided by 29 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1719774.4
If we subtract 116 from 130, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 140 by 29, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1719774.44
If we take 116 away from 140, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1719774.44 with a remaining 0.024.
