We divide 298658 by 50
We want to figure out the number of times 298658 can be divided by 50.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 50

Moving on to step 2:
29 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 50

Going ahead to step 3:
298 divided by 50 is 5 with a remainder of 48.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 250 from 298 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 486 / 50

Step 4:
50 goes into 486 9 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 450 from 486 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 365 / 50

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 365 by 50, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 597.0
Subtract 350 from 365 to get 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 50

On to step 6:
When dividing 158 by 50, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5973.0
If we take 150 away from 158, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
80 divided by 50 is 1 with a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5973.1
Deduct 50 from 80 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5973.16
If we subtract 300 from 300, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5973.16
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
0 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5973.16
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 5973.16 with a remainder of 0.0.
