We look at the division of 242837 by 49 
We want to figure out the number of times 242837 can be divided by 49.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 49

Going ahead to step 2:
24 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
49 goes into 242 4 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 196 away from 242, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 468 / 49

Going ahead to step 4:
49 can be fit into 468 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 441 from 468 to get 27.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 273 / 49

On to step 5:
If we divide 273 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 495.0
Deduct 245 from 273 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 287 / 49

On to step 6:
287 divided by 49 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4955.0
If we subtract 245 from 287, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 420 by 49, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4955.8
Subtracting 392 from 420 leaves us with 28.
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 8:
If we divide 280 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4955.85
Subtract 245 from 280 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
49 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4955.857
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 70 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4955.8571
Deduct 49 from 70 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
210 divided by 49 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4955.85714
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 196 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
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: 4955.857142
Subtracting 98 from 140 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 420 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4955.8571428
Subtracting 392 from 420 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
49 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4955.85714285
Subtract 245 from 280 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4955.85714285 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
