We divide 397871 by 49
Our goal is to divide 397871 by 49.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 49

Step 2:
When dividing 39 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 397 / 49

Going ahead to step 3:
49 goes into 397 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 392 from 397 to get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 49

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we subtract 49 from 58, we get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 49

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 97 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 811.0
Subtracting 49 from 97 leaves us with 48.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 49

On to step 6:
When dividing 481 by 49, we get 9 with a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8119.0
If we take 441 away from 481, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8119.8
Subtract 392 from 400 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 49 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8119.81
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 49 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
49 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8119.816
Subtracting 294 from 310 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 49 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8119.8163
If we take 147 away from 160, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 11:
130 divided by 49 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8119.81632
Deduct 98 from 130 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
49 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8119.816326
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
49 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8119.8163265
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 245 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 49 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8119.81632653
If we take 147 away from 150, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8119.81632653 and a remainder of 3e-09.
