261831 ÷ 50 
Our goal is to divide 261831 by 50.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 50

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 50 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 50

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 261 by 50, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 250 from 261 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 50

Step 4:
The number 50 fits into 118 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 100 from 118 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 183 / 50

Step 5:
50 goes into 183 3 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 523.0
If we take 150 away from 183, we end up with 33.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 331 / 50

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 331 by 50, we get 6 with a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5236.0
Deduct 300 from 331 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
310 divided by 50 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5236.6
If we take 300 away from 310, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 100 by 50, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5236.62
Subtracting 100 from 100 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5236.62
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
0 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5236.62
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5236.62 with a balance of 0.0.
