We look at the division of 287974 by 50 
We're looking to find how many times 50 goes into 287974.

Step 1:
The number 50 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 50

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 287 / 50

Let's proceed to step 3:
50 goes into 287 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 250 from 287.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 50

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 379 by 50, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 350 from 379 to get 29.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 50

Step 5:
297 divided by 50 is 5 with a remainder of 47.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 575.0
If we take 250 away from 297, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 474 / 50

Let's proceed to step 6:
50 goes into 474 9 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5759.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 450 from 474.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
50 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5759.4
If we subtract 200 from 240, we get 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:
If we divide 400 by 50, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5759.48
Subtract 400 from 400 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.

On to step 9:
0 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5759.48
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5759.48
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 5759.48, and the remainder is 0.0.
