Let's divide 385978 by 49
Our goal is to divide 385978 by 49.

Moving on to step 1:
49 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 49

Let's proceed to step 2:
49 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 385 / 49

Advancing to step 3:
385 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 343 from 385 to get 42.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 429 / 49

Moving on to step 4:
49 goes into 429 8 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we subtract 392 from 429, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 377 / 49

Going ahead to step 5:
49 goes into 377 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 787.0
If we subtract 343 from 377, we get 34.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 348 / 49

On to step 6:
The number 49 fits into 348 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7877.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 343 from 348.
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:
49 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7877.1
Subtracting 49 from 50 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 49 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7877.1
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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 9:
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: 7877.102
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
49 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7877.102
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 200 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7877.10204
Subtract 196 from 200 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7877.10204
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7877.1020408
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7877.10204081
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7877.10204081 with a balance of 3.1e-08.
