We look at the division of 972286 by 49 
We want to divide 972286 by 49.

Let's proceed to step 1:
49 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 49

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 49 from 97 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 482 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 482 by 49, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 441 from 482, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 412 / 49

Moving on to step 4:
49 can be fit into 412 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 198.0
Subtract 392 from 412 to get 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 49

Step 5:
When dividing 208 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1984.0
If we subtract 196 from 208, we get 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 49

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 126 by 49, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19842.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 98 from 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 49 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19842.5
If we subtract 245 from 280, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 350 by 49, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19842.57
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 343 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
49 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19842.571
If we subtract 49 from 70, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 49 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19842.5714
If we take 196 away from 210, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 49 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19842.57142
Deduct 98 from 140 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
49 goes into 420 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19842.571428
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 392 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19842.5714285
Deduct 245 from 280 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
350 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19842.57142857
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 343 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 19842.57142857 and a remainder of 7e-09.
