212579 divided by 50 
We're looking to find how many times 50 goes into 212579.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 50

Advancing to step 2:
The number 50 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 50

Step 3:
If we divide 212 by 50, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 200 away from 212, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 50

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 50 fits into 125 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 100 away from 125, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 50

Step 5:
50 can be fit into 257 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 425.0
Deduct 250 from 257 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 50

On to step 6:
50 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4251.0
Subtracting 50 from 79 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4251.5
Subtract 250 from 290 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 400 by 50, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4251.58
Subtract 400 from 400 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.

On to step 9:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4251.58
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

Step 10:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4251.58
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.

The final result is 4251.58 with a remainder of 0.0.
