We're dividing 49964221 by 172 
Our goal is to divide 49964221 by 172.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 172

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 499 / 172

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 499 by 172, we get 2 and a remainder of 155.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 344 from 499 leaves us with 155.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 155, then repeat: 1556 / 172

Advancing to step 4:
172 goes into 1556 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 1548 from 1556 to get 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 172

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 84 by 172, we get 0 and a remainder of 84.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 290.0
If we subtract 0 from 84, we get 84.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 842 / 172

Moving on to step 6:
842 divided by 172 is 4 with a remainder of 154.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2904.0
Subtract 688 from 842 to get 154.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 154, then repeat: 1542 / 172

Step 7:
172 goes into 1542 8 times with a remainder of 166.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29048.0
If we subtract 1376 from 1542, we get 166.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 166, then repeat: 1661 / 172

Step 8:
172 can be fit into 1661 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 113.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 290489.0
Deduct 1548 from 1661 and we're left with 113.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1130, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 1130 by 172, we get 6 and a remainder of 98.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 290489.6
Subtracting 1032 from 1130 leaves us with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 172 fits into 980 5 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 290489.65
The remainder is 120 after subtracting 860 from 980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
172 goes into 1200 6 times with a remainder of 168.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 290489.656
If we take 1032 away from 1200, we end up with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
1680 divided by 172 is 9 with a remainder of 132.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 290489.6569
If we subtract 1548 from 1680, we get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
172 goes into 1320 7 times with a remainder of 116.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 290489.65697
Subtract 1204 from 1320 to get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 172 fits into 1160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 290489.656976
Subtracting 1032 from 1160 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
172 can be fit into 1280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 290489.6569767
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 1204 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 172 fits into 760 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 290489.65697674
Deduct 688 from 760 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 290489.65697674 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
