Let's divide 49878089 by 408
Our goal is to divide 49878089 by 408.

On to step 1:
The number 408 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 408

Step 2:
408 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 498 / 408

On to step 3:
498 divided by 408 is 1 with a remainder of 90.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 408 from 498, we get 90.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 90 and continue with: 907 / 408

Step 4:
907 divided by 408 is 2 with a remainder of 91.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 816 away from 907, we end up with 91.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 91, then repeat: 918 / 408

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 918 by 408, we get 2 and a remainder of 102.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 102 after subtracting 816 from 918.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 102, then repeat: 1020 / 408

Let's proceed to step 6:
1020 divided by 408 is 2 with a remainder of 204.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1222.0
If we subtract 816 from 1020, we get 204.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 204, then repeat: 2048 / 408

Going ahead to step 7:
408 goes into 2048 5 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12225.0
Subtracting 2040 from 2048 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 408

Moving on to step 8:
The number 408 fits into 89 0 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122250.0
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 0 from 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
890 divided by 408 is 2 with a remainder of 74.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122250.2
If we subtract 816 from 890, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 10:
408 goes into 740 1 times with a remainder of 332.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 122250.21
If we take 408 away from 740, we end up with 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 408 fits into 3320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122250.218
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 3264 from 3320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 560 by 408, we get 1 and a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 122250.2181
If we subtract 408 from 560, we get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1520 by 408, we get 3 with a remainder of 296.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 122250.21813
Subtract 1224 from 1520 to get 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 2960 by 408, we get 7 and a remainder of 104.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122250.218137
If we take 2856 away from 2960, we end up with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Step 15:
1040 divided by 408 is 2 with a remainder of 224.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122250.2181372
The remainder is 224 after subtracting 816 from 1040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
2240 divided by 408 is 5 with a remainder of 200.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122250.21813725
Deduct 2040 from 2240 and we're left with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 122250.21813725 and a remainder of 2e-07.
