Let's divide 876861 by 49
We want to figure out the number of times 876861 can be divided by 49.

Moving on to step 1:
49 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 49

On to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 49 from 87.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 386 / 49

Step 3:
386 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 343 from 386 to get 43.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 438 / 49

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 438 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 392 from 438, we get 46.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 466 / 49

Step 5:
If we divide 466 by 49, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1789.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 441 from 466.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 251 / 49

On to step 6:
49 goes into 251 5 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17895.0
If we subtract 245 from 251, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 49 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17895.1
If we take 49 away from 60, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 8:
49 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17895.12
If we take 98 away from 110, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
120 divided by 49 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17895.122
Subtracting 98 from 120 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17895.122 with a remaining 0.0022.
