We divide 871939 by 49
We want to figure out the number of times 871939 can be divided by 49.

Going ahead to step 1:
49 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 49

Advancing to step 2:
87 divided by 49 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 49 from 87 leaves us with 38.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 381 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
381 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 343 away from 381, we end up with 38.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 389 / 49

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 389 by 49, we get 7 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 177.0
Deduct 343 from 389 and we're left with 46.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 463 / 49

On to step 5:
If we divide 463 by 49, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1779.0
If we subtract 441 from 463, we get 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 49

Step 6:
If we divide 229 by 49, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17794.0
If we take 196 away from 229, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 330 by 49, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17794.6
If we subtract 294 from 330, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
49 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17794.67
Subtracting 343 from 360 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 49 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17794.673
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 147 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
49 goes into 230 4 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17794.6734
Subtract 196 from 230 to get 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 11:
49 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17794.67346
If we take 294 away from 340, we end up with 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 12:
460 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17794.673469
If we take 441 away from 460, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
190 divided by 49 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17794.6734693
If we subtract 147 from 190, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 430 by 49, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17794.67346938
If we subtract 392 from 430, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final result is 17794.67346938 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
