158949 ÷ 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 158949 can be divided by 50.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 50

Let's proceed to step 2:
50 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 50

Advancing to step 3:
The number 50 fits into 158 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 150 from 158, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 50

Let's proceed to step 4:
50 can be fit into 89 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 50 from 89, we get 39.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 394 / 50

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 394 by 50, we get 7 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 317.0
Subtracting 350 from 394 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 449 / 50

On to step 6:
The number 50 fits into 449 8 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3178.0
If we subtract 400 from 449, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
50 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3178.9
Deduct 450 from 490 and we're left 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:
The number 50 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3178.98
If we subtract 400 from 400, 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 9:
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: 3178.98
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3178.98
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.

The final result is 3178.98 with a remainder of 0.0.
