We're dividing 549961 by 50 
We want to divide 549961 by 50.

Step 1:
50 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 50

Advancing to step 2:
54 divided by 50 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 50 away from 54, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 50

On to step 3:
The number 50 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 499 / 50

Advancing to step 4:
50 goes into 499 9 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
If we subtract 450 from 499, we get 49.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 496 / 50

Going ahead to step 5:
50 can be fit into 496 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1099.0
Subtracting 450 from 496 leaves us with 46.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 461 / 50

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 461 by 50, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10999.0
If we subtract 450 from 461, we 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.

Step 7:
110 divided by 50 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10999.2
If we take 100 away from 110, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
50 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10999.22
If we subtract 100 from 100, we 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.

The final result is 10999.22 with a remainder of 0.0.
