887960 ÷ 50 
Our goal is to divide 887960 by 50.

On to step 1:
The number 50 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 50

Going ahead to step 2:
50 can be fit into 88 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 50 from 88, we get 38.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 387 / 50

Step 3:
If we divide 387 by 50, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 350 from 387 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 379 / 50

Step 4:
The number 50 fits into 379 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177.0
If we take 350 away from 379, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 50

Step 5:
50 can be fit into 296 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1775.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 250 from 296.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 460 / 50

Advancing to step 6:
50 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17759.0
Subtract 450 from 460 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17759.2
If we take 100 away from 100, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17759.2
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17759.2
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 17759.2 with a remaining 0.0.
