Let's divide 173949 by 49
We want to divide 173949 by 49.

Step 1:
1 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 49

Moving on to step 2:
The number 49 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 49 fits into 173 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 147 from 173 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
The number 49 fits into 269 5 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 245 from 269, we get 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 49

On to step 5:
49 goes into 244 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 354.0
Subtracting 196 from 244 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 489 / 49

Step 6:
489 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3549.0
Subtracting 441 from 489 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
49 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3549.9
If we take 441 away from 480, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
49 goes into 390 7 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3549.97
Deduct 343 from 390 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 470 by 49, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3549.979
Deduct 441 from 470 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 290 by 49, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3549.9795
Deduct 245 from 290 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
450 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3549.97959
Subtract 441 from 450 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
49 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3549.979591
If we subtract 49 from 90, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
410 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3549.9795918
Subtract 392 from 410 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 180 by 49, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3549.97959183
If we take 147 away from 180, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3549.97959183 with a balance of 3.3e-08.
