We divide 111879 by 49
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 111879.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 49

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 111 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
49 can be fit into 111 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 98 from 111.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 138 / 49

Step 4:
The number 49 fits into 138 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 98 from 138 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 49

Step 5:
407 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 228.0
If we subtract 392 from 407, we get 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 49

Advancing to step 6:
49 can be fit into 159 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2283.0
If we subtract 147 from 159, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
49 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2283.2
Subtracting 98 from 120 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
220 divided by 49 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2283.24
Subtracting 196 from 220 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
49 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2283.244
Subtracting 196 from 240 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2283.244 with a remaining 0.0044.
