Let's divide 729996 by 49
We want to divide 729996 by 49.

Let's proceed to step 1:
49 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 49

Step 2:
The number 49 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 49 from 72 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 49

Advancing to step 3:
49 goes into 239 4 times with a remainder of 43.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 196 away from 239, we end up with 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 49

Going ahead to step 4:
439 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 47.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we subtract 392 from 439, we get 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 479 / 49

Moving on to step 5:
The number 49 fits into 479 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1489.0
Deduct 441 from 479 and we're left with 38.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 386 / 49

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 386 by 49, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14897.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 343 from 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 7:
430 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14897.8
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 392 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
380 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14897.87
Subtracting 343 from 380 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 9:
49 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14897.877
If we take 343 away from 370, we end up with 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 14897.877 and a remainder of 0.0027.
