972178 ÷ 49 
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 972178.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 49

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 49 from 97, we get 48.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 482 / 49

Going ahead to step 3:
482 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 441 from 482 leaves us with 41.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 411 / 49

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 411 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 198.0
If we subtract 392 from 411, we get 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 49

On to step 5:
When dividing 197 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1984.0
If we subtract 196 from 197, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 49

Moving on to step 6:
49 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19840.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 49, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19840.3
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 147 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 49 fits into 330 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19840.36
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 294 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
49 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19840.367
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 343 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 170 by 49, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 19840.3673
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 11:
When dividing 230 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19840.36734
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
340 divided by 49 is 6 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19840.367346
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 294 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
49 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19840.3673469
If we take 441 away from 460, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
190 divided by 49 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19840.36734693
Deduct 147 from 190 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 19840.36734693 and a remainder of 4.3e-08.
