Let's divide 488637 by 49
We want to divide 488637 by 49.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 49

Step 2:
48 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
488 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 441 from 488.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 476 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 476 by 49, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99.0
Deduct 441 from 476 and we're left with 35.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 353 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 49 fits into 353 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 997.0
Deduct 343 from 353 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 107 / 49

Advancing to step 6:
107 divided by 49 is 2 with a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9972.0
Deduct 98 from 107 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9972.1
If we take 49 away from 90, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
49 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9972.18
Subtract 392 from 410 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 180 by 49, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9972.183
Deduct 147 from 180 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
49 goes into 330 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9972.1836
If we take 294 away from 330, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
49 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9972.18367
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 343 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 49 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9972.183673
If we take 147 away from 170, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
230 divided by 49 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9972.1836734
If we subtract 196 from 230, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
49 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9972.18367346
Deduct 294 from 340 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9972.18367346 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
