We divide 187998 by 49
Our goal is to divide 187998 by 49.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 49

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 49 fits into 187 3 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 147 from 187, we get 40.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 49

Step 4:
The number 49 fits into 409 8 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 392 from 409 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 49

Going ahead to step 5:
49 goes into 179 3 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 383.0
Deduct 147 from 179 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 328 / 49

Going ahead to step 6:
49 goes into 328 6 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3836.0
Subtract 294 from 328 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3836.6
Subtracting 294 from 340 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
460 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3836.69
Subtract 441 from 460 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
49 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3836.693
Deduct 147 from 190 and we're left with 43.
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:
When dividing 430 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3836.6938
If we take 392 away from 430, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
49 goes into 380 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3836.69387
Subtract 343 from 380 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 370 by 49, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3836.693877
If we subtract 343 from 370, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3836.693877 and a remainder of 2.7e-06.
