Let's divide 282978 by 49
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 282978.

Step 1:
49 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 49

Moving on to step 2:
49 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 282 / 49

Step 3:
The number 49 fits into 282 5 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 245 from 282 to get 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 49

Step 4:
If we divide 379 by 49, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 343 away from 379, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 367 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 49 fits into 367 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 577.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 343 from 367.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 49

On to step 6:
49 goes into 248 5 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5775.0
If we subtract 245 from 248, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
49 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5775.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
49 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5775.06
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
49 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5775.061
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 49 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 110 by 49, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5775.0612
If we take 98 away from 110, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
49 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5775.06122
If we subtract 98 from 120, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5775.06122 with a remaining 2.2e-05.
