Let's divide 217969 by 50
Our goal is to divide 217969 by 50.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 50

Let's proceed to step 2:
50 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 50

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 50 fits into 217 4 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 200 away from 217, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 50

Moving on to step 4:
50 can be fit into 179 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtracting 150 from 179 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 296 / 50

On to step 5:
The number 50 fits into 296 5 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 435.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 250 from 296.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 469 / 50

Advancing to step 6:
50 can be fit into 469 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4359.0
Subtracting 450 from 469 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 50, we get 3 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4359.3
Subtracting 150 from 190 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4359.38
If we take 400 away from 400, 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.

Going ahead 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: 4359.38
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.

On to step 10:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4359.38
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.

After the division, we end up with 4359.38 and a remainder of 0.0.
