We're dividing 49731343 by 217 
We want to divide 49731343 by 217.

On to step 1:
The number 217 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
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 / 217

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 217, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 497 / 217

Step 3:
217 can be fit into 497 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 434 from 497 leaves us with 63.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 633 / 217

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 217 fits into 633 2 times, leaving a remainder of 199.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 434 from 633 leaves us with 199.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 199, then repeat: 1991 / 217

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 1991 by 217, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 229.0
Subtract 1953 from 1991 to get 38.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 383 / 217

Let's proceed to step 6:
383 divided by 217 is 1 with a remainder of 166.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2291.0
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 217 from 383.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 166, then carry on: 1664 / 217

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1664 by 217, we get 7 with a remainder of 145.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22917.0
The remainder is 145 after subtracting 1519 from 1664.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 145 and repeat the process: 1453 / 217

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1453 by 217, we get 6 and a remainder of 151.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 229176.0
Deduct 1302 from 1453 and we're left with 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
217 goes into 1510 6 times with a remainder of 208.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 229176.6
If we take 1302 away from 1510, we end up with 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 2080 by 217, we get 9 and a remainder of 127.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 229176.69
Deduct 1953 from 2080 and we're left with 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
217 can be fit into 1270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 185.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 229176.695
Deduct 1085 from 1270 and we're left with 185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
217 can be fit into 1850 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 114.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 229176.6958
The remainder is 114 after subtracting 1736 from 1850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 217 fits into 1140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 229176.69585
Subtracting 1085 from 1140 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 217 fits into 550 2 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 229176.695852
The remainder is 116 after subtracting 434 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Step 15:
217 goes into 1160 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 229176.6958525
Deduct 1085 from 1160 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 217 fits into 750 3 times, leaving a remainder of 99.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 229176.69585253
The remainder is 99 after subtracting 651 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 990, and continue the process.

The final result is 229176.69585253 with a remainder of 9.9e-08.
