We're dividing 217744 by 49 
We want to divide 217744 by 49.

On to step 1:
49 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 49

Moving on to step 2:
21 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 217 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 196 away from 217, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 217 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 196 from 217 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
49 goes into 214 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 444.0
If we take 196 away from 214, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 49

Step 6:
If we divide 184 by 49, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4443.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 147 from 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 49 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4443.7
Deduct 343 from 370 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 270 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4443.75
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 245 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 250 by 49, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4443.755
If we take 245 away from 250, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 4443.755 with a remainder of 0.0005.
