We divide 242158 by 50
We want to divide 242158 by 50.

Advancing to step 1:
50 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 50

Going ahead to step 2:
50 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 50

Step 3:
The number 50 fits into 242 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 200 from 242, we get 42.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 421 / 50

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 421 by 50, we get 8 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 400 from 421 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 215 / 50

Advancing to step 5:
50 goes into 215 4 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 484.0
Subtracting 200 from 215 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 50

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 50 fits into 158 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4843.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 150 from 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
50 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4843.1
If we take 50 away from 80, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 50, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4843.16
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:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4843.16
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4843.16
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.

Our division results in 4843.16 with a remaining 0.0.
