We're dividing 831172 by 49 
We want to divide 831172 by 49.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 49

Step 2:
When dividing 83 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 49 from 83.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 341 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
341 divided by 49 is 6 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 294 from 341.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 471 / 49

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 471 by 49, we get 9 with a remainder of 30.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we subtract 441 from 471, we get 30.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 307 / 49

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 307 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1696.0
If we subtract 294 from 307, we get 13.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 49

On to step 6:
49 goes into 132 2 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16962.0
Deduct 98 from 132 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 49 fits into 340 6 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16962.6
Subtract 294 from 340 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 49 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16962.69
Subtracting 441 from 460 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
49 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16962.693
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 147 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 430 by 49, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16962.6938
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 49, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16962.69387
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 12:
49 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16962.693877
If we take 343 away from 370, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 16962.693877, with a leftover of 2.7e-06.
