We divide 540899 by 50
We want to divide 540899 by 50.

Moving on to step 1:
50 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 50

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
Deduct 50 from 54 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 50

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 40 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 50

On to step 4:
The number 50 fits into 408 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 108.0
Deduct 400 from 408 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 50

Let's proceed to step 5:
89 divided by 50 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1081.0
If we subtract 50 from 89, we get 39.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 399 / 50

Going ahead to step 6:
399 divided by 50 is 7 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10817.0
Deduct 350 from 399 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 490 by 50, we get 9 and a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10817.9
If we take 450 away from 490, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
50 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10817.98
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10817.98
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10817.98
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.

After the division, we end up with 10817.98 and a remainder of 0.0.
