238978 divided by 49 
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 238978.

Moving on to step 1:
49 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 49

Step 2:
The number 49 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 49

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 49 fits into 238 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 196 away from 238, we end up with 42.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 429 / 49

On to step 4:
49 can be fit into 429 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 392 from 429 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 377 / 49

Step 5:
49 can be fit into 377 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 487.0
If we take 343 away from 377, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 348 / 49

Let's proceed to step 6:
348 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4877.0
Subtracting 343 from 348 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4877.1
If we take 49 away from 50, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 10 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4877.1
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
49 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4877.102
Subtracting 98 from 100 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
20 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4877.102
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 49, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4877.10204
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 196 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
40 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4877.10204
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 400 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4877.1020408
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
80 divided by 49 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4877.10204081
Subtract 49 from 80 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4877.10204081, and the remainder is 3.1e-08.
