868979 ÷ 49 
We want to divide 868979 by 49.

Step 1:
49 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 49

Let's proceed to step 2:
49 can be fit into 86 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 49 from 86, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 378 / 49

Moving on to step 3:
378 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 35.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 343 from 378 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 359 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
49 can be fit into 359 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
If we take 343 away from 359, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 49

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 49 fits into 167 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1773.0
If we subtract 147 from 167, we get 20.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 209 / 49

Moving on to step 6:
49 goes into 209 4 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17734.0
Subtract 196 from 209 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 49, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17734.2
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 98 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
49 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17734.26
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17734.265
Deduct 245 from 260 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 49 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17734.2653
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 147 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
49 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17734.2653
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 300 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17734.265306
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17734.2653061
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 49 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
49 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17734.26530612
If we subtract 98 from 110, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17734.26530612, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
