We're dividing 49838397 by 642 
We're looking to find how many times 642 goes into 49838397.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 642, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 642

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 642 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 498 / 642

Let's proceed to step 3:
642 goes into 498 0 times with a remainder of 498.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 498 and we're left with 498.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 498, then carry on: 4983 / 642

Going ahead to step 4:
642 goes into 4983 7 times with a remainder of 489.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 4494 from 4983, we get 489.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 489 and continue with: 4898 / 642

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 4898 by 642, we get 7 and a remainder of 404.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we take 4494 away from 4898, we end up with 404.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 404, then repeat: 4043 / 642

Moving on to step 6:
642 goes into 4043 6 times with a remainder of 191.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 776.0
The remainder is 191 after subtracting 3852 from 4043.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 191, then repeat: 1919 / 642

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1919 by 642, we get 2 with a remainder of 635.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7762.0
The remainder is 635 after subtracting 1284 from 1919.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 635, then repeat: 6357 / 642

Step 8:
642 can be fit into 6357 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 579.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77629.0
If we take 5778 away from 6357, we end up with 579.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 5790 by 642, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 77629.9
If we subtract 5778 from 5790, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
642 goes into 120 0 times with a remainder of 120.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77629.9
The remainder is 120 after subtracting 0 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
642 goes into 1200 1 times with a remainder of 558.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77629.901
If we subtract 642 from 1200, we get 558.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 642 fits into 5580 8 times, leaving a remainder of 444.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 77629.9018
If we take 5136 away from 5580, we end up with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Step 13:
642 goes into 4440 6 times with a remainder of 588.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77629.90186
Subtracting 3852 from 4440 leaves us with 588.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 5880 by 642, we get 9 with a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 77629.901869
Subtracting 5778 from 5880 leaves us with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 1020 by 642, we get 1 and a remainder of 378.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77629.9018691
Deduct 642 from 1020 and we're left with 378.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
642 goes into 3780 5 times with a remainder of 570.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77629.90186915
If we subtract 3210 from 3780, we get 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5700, and continue the process.

Our division results in 77629.90186915 with a remaining 5.7e-07.
