We're dividing 998725 by 50 
We're looking to find how many times 50 goes into 998725.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 50

Let's proceed to step 2:
99 divided by 50 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 50 away from 99, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 50

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 498 by 50, we get 9 with a remainder of 48.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 450 from 498.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 487 / 50

On to step 4:
50 goes into 487 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 199.0
Subtracting 450 from 487 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 372 / 50

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 50 fits into 372 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1997.0
If we take 350 away from 372, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 50

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 225 by 50, we get 4 with a remainder of 25.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19974.0
Subtracting 200 from 225 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
50 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 19974.5
Deduct 250 from 250 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19974.5
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.

Advancing to step 9:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19974.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 19974.5 with a balance of 0.0.
