We divide 50855 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 50855 can be divided by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 5, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 3

On to step 2:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
28 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 15 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1695.0
If we subtract 15 from 15, we get 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 3

On to step 5:
When dividing 5 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16951.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16951.6
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16951.66
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 16951.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
