We're dividing 73642 by 49 
We want to divide 73642 by 49.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 49

On to step 2:
The number 49 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 49 from 73 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 246 / 49

Advancing to step 3:
246 divided by 49 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 245 from 246.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 49

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 49 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 150.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 49

Step 5:
142 divided by 49 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1502.0
Subtracting 98 from 142 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
49 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1502.8
Deduct 392 from 440 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 480 by 49, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1502.89
If we subtract 441 from 480, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 8:
49 goes into 390 7 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1502.897
Subtract 343 from 390 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
49 goes into 470 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1502.8979
Subtract 441 from 470 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 290 by 49, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1502.89795
Deduct 245 from 290 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 49, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1502.897959
If we take 441 away from 450, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 49 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1502.8979591
If we subtract 49 from 90, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 49 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1502.89795918
If we subtract 392 from 410, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1502.89795918, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
