We look at the division of 987899 by 49 
We want to divide 987899 by 49.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 49

Step 2:
The number 49 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 98 from 98, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 49

On to step 3:
If we divide 7 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
The number 49 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 201.0
Deduct 49 from 78 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 49

On to step 5:
The number 49 fits into 299 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2016.0
If we take 294 away from 299, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 49

On to step 6:
When dividing 59 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20161.0
Subtract 49 from 59 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
100 divided by 49 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20161.2
If we take 98 away from 100, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20161.2
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
49 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20161.204
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 196 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 49 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20161.204
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 49, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20161.20408
Subtract 392 from 400 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
80 divided by 49 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20161.204081
Subtracting 49 from 80 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 310 by 49, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20161.2040816
Subtracting 294 from 310 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
49 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20161.20408163
Deduct 147 from 160 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20161.20408163, and the remainder is 1.3e-08.
