We divide 879669 by 49
Our goal is to divide 879669 by 49.

On 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
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 49

Step 2:
When dividing 87 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 49 from 87 to get 38.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 389 / 49

Advancing to step 3:
49 can be fit into 389 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 343 away from 389, we end up with 46.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 466 / 49

Let's proceed to step 4:
49 can be fit into 466 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we subtract 441 from 466, we get 25.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 256 / 49

On to step 5:
49 can be fit into 256 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1795.0
Subtract 245 from 256 to get 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 49

Advancing to step 6:
The number 49 fits into 119 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17952.0
If we subtract 98 from 119, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 49 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17952.4
Subtract 196 from 210 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
140 divided by 49 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17952.42
Subtracting 98 from 140 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 9:
420 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17952.428
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 392 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 49, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17952.4285
If we subtract 245 from 280, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 49, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17952.42857
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 343 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
70 divided by 49 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17952.428571
If we take 49 away from 70, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 49 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17952.4285714
Subtract 196 from 210 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
140 divided by 49 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17952.42857142
If we take 98 away from 140, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17952.42857142, with a leftover of 4.2e-08.
