Let's divide 242724 by 49
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 242724.

Let's proceed to step 1:
49 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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

Step 2:
49 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 49

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 196 from 242 to get 46.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 467 / 49

Let's proceed to step 4:
49 goes into 467 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 441 away from 467, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 262 / 49

Advancing to step 5:
49 goes into 262 5 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 495.0
If we take 245 away from 262, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 49

Let's proceed to step 6:
49 can be fit into 174 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4953.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 147 from 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4953.5
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 245 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
250 divided by 49 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4953.55
If we subtract 245 from 250, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4953.55 with a balance of 0.005.
