Let's divide 231983 by 49
We want to figure out the number of times 231983 can be divided by 49.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 49, we get 0 with 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.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 49

Moving on to step 2:
23 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
The number 49 fits into 231 4 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 196 from 231 and we're left with 35.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 49

On to step 4:
359 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 343 from 359.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 49

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 168 by 49, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 473.0
Subtracting 147 from 168 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 213 / 49

On to step 6:
If we divide 213 by 49, we get 4 and a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4734.0
Subtracting 196 from 213 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 49, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4734.3
If we take 147 away from 170, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 49 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4734.34
Subtract 196 from 230 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
49 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4734.346
Subtract 294 from 340 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 460 by 49, we get 9 and a remainder of 19.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4734.3469
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 441 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
49 goes into 190 3 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4734.34693
If we take 147 away from 190, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 430 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4734.346938
Subtract 392 from 430 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
49 goes into 380 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4734.3469387
If we subtract 343 from 380, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 14:
49 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4734.34693877
Deduct 343 from 370 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4734.34693877, with a leftover of 2.7e-08.
