We divide 421886 by 49
We want to figure out the number of times 421886 can be divided by 49.

On to step 1:
49 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 49

Moving on to step 2:
The number 49 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 421 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
421 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 392 from 421 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 49

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 298 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtract 294 from 298 to get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 49

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 48 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 860.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 486 / 49

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 49 fits into 486 9 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8609.0
If we subtract 441 from 486, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
450 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8609.9
Deduct 441 from 450 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
49 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.91
Deduct 49 from 90 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 410 by 49, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.918
If we take 392 away from 410, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
49 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.9183
Subtracting 147 from 180 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 330 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.91836
If we take 294 away from 330, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 360 by 49, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8609.918367
Deduct 343 from 360 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
49 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8609.9183673
If we take 147 away from 170, 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.

Step 14:
230 divided by 49 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8609.91836734
If we take 196 away from 230, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 8609.91836734, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
