We're dividing 842938 by 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 842938 can be divided by 50.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 50

Advancing to step 2:
84 divided by 50 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 50 away from 84, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 342 / 50

On to step 3:
342 divided by 50 is 6 with a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 300 from 342 to get 42.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 429 / 50

Advancing to step 4:
The number 50 fits into 429 8 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
Subtracting 400 from 429 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 293 / 50

Let's proceed to step 5:
293 divided by 50 is 5 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1685.0
Subtracting 250 from 293 leaves us with 43.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 438 / 50

Going ahead to step 6:
50 can be fit into 438 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16858.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 400 from 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
380 divided by 50 is 7 with a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16858.7
Subtracting 350 from 380 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 50, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16858.76
Subtract 300 from 300 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16858.76
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 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16858.76
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.

The quotient of the division is 16858.76, and the remainder is 0.0.
