We look at the division of 49872 by 18 
We're looking to find how many times 18 goes into 49872.

Moving on to step 1:
18 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 18

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 18 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 36 from 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 18

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 138 by 18, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 126 from 138 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 18

Advancing to step 4:
The number 18 fits into 127 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 277.0
Subtract 126 from 127 to get 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
18 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2770.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 120 by 18, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2770.6
Deduct 108 from 120 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
120 divided by 18 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2770.66
Deduct 108 from 120 and we're left 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.

The final result is 2770.66 with a remainder of 0.012.
