Let's divide 49942899 by 873
Let's see how many times 873 fits into 49942899.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 873 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 873

On to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 873, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 499 / 873

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 499 by 873, we get 0 with a remainder of 499.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 499 leaves us with 499.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 499, then carry on: 4994 / 873

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 4994 by 873, we get 5 with a remainder of 629.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 629 after subtracting 4365 from 4994.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 629, then carry on: 6292 / 873

Step 5:
873 can be fit into 6292 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 181.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 6111 away from 6292, we end up with 181.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 181, then carry on: 1818 / 873

On to step 6:
873 can be fit into 1818 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 572.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 1746 from 1818.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 729 / 873

Advancing to step 7:
The number 873 fits into 729 0 times, leaving a remainder of 729.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5720.0
If we subtract 0 from 729, we get 729.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 729 and continue with: 7299 / 873

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 7299 by 873, we get 8 and a remainder of 315.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57208.0
If we take 6984 away from 7299, we end up with 315.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 3150 by 873, we get 3 and a remainder of 531.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57208.3
Subtract 2619 from 3150 to get 531.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5310, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 5310 by 873, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57208.36
If we subtract 5238 from 5310, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
720 divided by 873 is 0 with a remainder of 720.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57208.36
The remainder is 720 after subtracting 0 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 7200 by 873, we get 8 with a remainder of 216.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57208.3608
If we take 6984 away from 7200, we end up with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 2160 by 873, we get 2 with a remainder of 414.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57208.36082
Subtracting 1746 from 2160 leaves us with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
873 can be fit into 4140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 648.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57208.360824
Subtract 3492 from 4140 to get 648.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
873 goes into 6480 7 times with a remainder of 369.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57208.3608247
If we subtract 6111 from 6480, we get 369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 3690 by 873, we get 4 and a remainder of 198.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 57208.36082474
Deduct 3492 from 3690 and we're left with 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 57208.36082474 with a balance of 1.98e-07.
