14878979 ÷ 299 
We want to divide 14878979 by 299.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 299, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 299

Moving on to step 2:
The number 299 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 299

Let's proceed to step 3:
299 can be fit into 148 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 148, we end up with 148.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 148 and continue: 1487 / 299

On to step 4:
299 goes into 1487 4 times with a remainder of 291.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 1196 from 1487, we get 291.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 291, then repeat: 2918 / 299

Step 5:
299 can be fit into 2918 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 2691 from 2918 to get 227.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 227, then repeat: 2279 / 299

On to step 6:
When dividing 2279 by 299, we get 7 with a remainder of 186.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 497.0
If we take 2093 away from 2279, we end up with 186.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 186, then repeat: 1867 / 299

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 299 fits into 1867 6 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4976.0
Subtracting 1794 from 1867 leaves us with 73.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 739 / 299

Going ahead to step 8:
299 can be fit into 739 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 141.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49762.0
Subtract 598 from 739 to get 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
1410 divided by 299 is 4 with a remainder of 214.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49762.4
Subtract 1196 from 1410 to get 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 299 fits into 2140 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49762.47
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 2093 from 2140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 299 fits into 470 1 times, leaving a remainder of 171.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49762.471
The remainder is 171 after subtracting 299 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1710 divided by 299 is 5 with a remainder of 215.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49762.4715
The remainder is 215 after subtracting 1495 from 1710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Step 13:
299 goes into 2150 7 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49762.47157
Deduct 2093 from 2150 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
570 divided by 299 is 1 with a remainder of 271.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49762.471571
Deduct 299 from 570 and we're left with 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 299 fits into 2710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49762.4715719
Subtract 2691 from 2710 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
190 divided by 299 is 0 with a remainder of 190.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49762.4715719
The remainder is 190 after subtracting 0 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 49762.4715719, with a leftover of 1.9e-07.
