We divide 282979 by 50
We're looking to find how many times 50 goes into 282979.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 50

On to step 2:
The number 50 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 282 / 50

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 282 by 50, we get 5 and a remainder of 32.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 250 from 282 to get 32.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 329 / 50

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 329 by 50, we get 6 and a remainder of 29.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 300 from 329 and we're left with 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 50

On to step 5:
50 goes into 297 5 times with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 565.0
Subtract 250 from 297 to get 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 50

Step 6:
The number 50 fits into 479 9 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5659.0
If we subtract 450 from 479, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5659.5
If we take 250 away from 290, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
50 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5659.58
Deduct 400 from 400 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5659.58
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5659.58
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5659.58 with a balance of 0.0.
