We divide 872048 by 50
We're looking to find how many times 50 goes into 872048.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 50 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 50

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 50 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 50 away from 87, we end up with 37.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 372 / 50

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 372 by 50, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 350 from 372 to get 22.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 220 / 50

Going ahead to step 4:
50 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we subtract 200 from 220, we get 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 50

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 204 by 50, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1744.0
Deduct 200 from 204 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 50

Moving on to step 6:
The number 50 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17440.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 50 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17440.9
Subtract 450 from 480 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17440.96
If we take 300 away from 300, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 17440.96
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17440.96
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Our division results in 17440.96 with a remaining 0.0.
