We look at the division of 49801971 by 423 
We want to figure out the number of times 49801971 can be divided by 423.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 423 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 423

Advancing to step 2:
423 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 423

Advancing to step 3:
498 divided by 423 is 1 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 423 from 498 to get 75.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 750 / 423

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 750 by 423, we get 1 and a remainder of 327.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 423 from 750, we get 327.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 327, then repeat: 3271 / 423

Step 5:
When dividing 3271 by 423, we get 7 with a remainder of 310.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 2961 away from 3271, we end up with 310.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 310 and repeat the process: 3109 / 423

Moving on to step 6:
3109 divided by 423 is 7 with a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1177.0
The remainder is 148 after subtracting 2961 from 3109.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 148 and repeat the process: 1487 / 423

Advancing to step 7:
423 goes into 1487 3 times with a remainder of 218.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11773.0
If we take 1269 away from 1487, we end up with 218.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 218, then carry on: 2181 / 423

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 2181 by 423, we get 5 and a remainder of 66.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117735.0
If we subtract 2115 from 2181, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
423 goes into 660 1 times with a remainder of 237.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117735.1
Subtract 423 from 660 to get 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 2370 by 423, we get 5 with a remainder of 255.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117735.15
Subtract 2115 from 2370 to get 255.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 423 fits into 2550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 117735.156
Deduct 2538 from 2550 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 423, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117735.156
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1200 by 423, we get 2 with a remainder of 354.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117735.15602
Deduct 846 from 1200 and we're left with 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
423 goes into 3540 8 times with a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117735.156028
Deduct 3384 from 3540 and we're left with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 1560 by 423, we get 3 and a remainder of 291.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 117735.1560283
Subtracting 1269 from 1560 leaves us with 291.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2910, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
2910 divided by 423 is 6 with a remainder of 372.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117735.15602836
If we take 2538 away from 2910, we end up with 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 117735.15602836 and a remainder of 3.72e-07.
