We look at the division of 722871 by 49 
Let's see how many times 49 fits into 722871.

Step 1:
49 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 49

On to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 49 from 72 to get 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 232 by 49, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 196 from 232 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 368 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
The number 49 fits into 368 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 147.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 343 from 368.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 49

Moving on to step 5:
49 goes into 257 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1475.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 245 from 257.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 121 / 49

On to step 6:
When dividing 121 by 49, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14752.0
If we take 98 away from 121, 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.

On to step 7:
49 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14752.4
Subtracting 196 from 230 leaves us with 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 8:
49 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14752.46
If we subtract 294 from 340, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 49 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14752.469
Deduct 441 from 460 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
49 goes into 190 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14752.4693
If we subtract 147 from 190, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 49 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14752.46938
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 49 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14752.469387
Subtract 343 from 380 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
49 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14752.4693877
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 14752.4693877 with a balance of 2.7e-07.
