166972 divided by 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 166972 can be divided by 50.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 50

Going ahead to step 2:
16 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 166 / 50

Step 3:
50 can be fit into 166 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 150 from 166 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 50

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 169 by 50, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 150 from 169 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 50

Step 5:
The number 50 fits into 197 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 333.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 150 from 197.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 472 / 50

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 472 by 50, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3339.0
Subtracting 450 from 472 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 50, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3339.4
If we take 200 away from 220, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
200 divided by 50 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3339.44
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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 outcome is 3339.44, with a leftover of 0.0.
