988852 ÷ 49 
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 988852.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 49

Let's proceed to step 2:
49 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 98 away from 98, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 49

On to step 3:
8 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 49

On to step 4:
If we divide 88 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 201.0
If we take 49 away from 88, we end up with 39.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 395 / 49

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 49 fits into 395 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2018.0
Deduct 392 from 395 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 49

Step 6:
When dividing 32 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20180.0
If we subtract 0 from 32, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
320 divided by 49 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20180.6
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 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 8:
If we divide 260 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20180.65
If we subtract 245 from 260, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
49 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20180.653
Deduct 147 from 150 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
The number 49 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20180.653
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
49 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20180.65306
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
49 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20180.653061
Subtract 49 from 60 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
49 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 20180.6530612
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 98 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 49 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20180.65306122
If we subtract 98 from 120, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 20180.65306122 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
