We're dividing 49871 by 61 
We're looking to find how many times 61 goes into 49871.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 61

Going ahead to step 2:
61 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 498 / 61

Going ahead to step 3:
61 goes into 498 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 488 from 498 and we're left with 10.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 107 / 61

On to step 4:
107 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 61 from 107.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 461 / 61

Going ahead to step 5:
61 goes into 461 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 817.0
Deduct 427 from 461 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
61 goes into 340 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 817.5
Subtract 305 from 340 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 350 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 817.55
Deduct 305 from 350 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 817.55, and the remainder is 0.045.
