We're dividing 228987 by 49 
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 228987.

On to step 1:
49 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 49

On to step 2:
The number 49 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
49 goes into 228 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 196 from 228 to get 32.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 329 / 49

Step 4:
When dividing 329 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 35.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 294 from 329, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 49

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 358 by 49, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 467.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 343 from 358.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 49

Let's proceed to step 6:
49 can be fit into 157 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4673.0
Subtracting 147 from 157 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 49, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4673.2
If we subtract 98 from 100, we get 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 8:
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: 4673.2
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
49 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4673.204
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 10:
The number 49 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4673.204
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
49 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4673.20408
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4673.204081
Deduct 49 from 80 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 310 by 49, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4673.2040816
If we take 294 away from 310, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
49 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4673.20408163
Subtract 147 from 160 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4673.20408163 with a balance of 1.3e-08.
