We're dividing 837951 by 49 
We want to divide 837951 by 49.

Step 1:
8 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 49

On to step 2:
49 goes into 83 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 49 from 83 to get 34.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 347 / 49

Step 3:
49 goes into 347 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 343 from 347 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 49

Step 4:
If we divide 49 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we subtract 49 from 49, we get 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 49

Moving on to step 5:
The number 49 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1710.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 49

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 51 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17101.0
Deduct 49 from 51 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
The number 49 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17101.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17101.04
Deduct 196 from 200 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 40 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17101.04
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 49 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17101.0408
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
49 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17101.04081
Subtracting 49 from 80 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 310 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17101.040816
Subtract 294 from 310 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
49 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17101.0408163
Subtracting 147 from 160 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
49 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17101.04081632
If we take 98 away from 130, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17101.04081632 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
