<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 849, we need to group it as 49 and 8.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is 8 or less. We can say n as '2' because 2 x 2 = 4, which is<a>less than</a>8. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 2, and after subtracting 4 from 8, the<a>remainder</a>is 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 49, making the new<a>dividend</a>449. Add the old<a>divisor</a>, 2, to itself, getting 4, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Find n such that 4n x n is less than or equal to 449. Let's consider n as 9, now 49 x 9 = 441.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 441 from 449, getting a remainder of 8. The quotient is now 29.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 441 from 449, getting a remainder of 8. The quotient is now 29.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a<a>decimal</a>point. Adding the decimal point allows us to bring two zeroes down to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 800.</p>

<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Subtracting 581 from 800 gives us 219.</p>

<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Continue this process until the desired precision is achieved.</p>
