261849 ÷ 50 
Our goal is to divide 261849 by 50.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 50

On to step 2:
26 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 50

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 261 by 50, we get 5 and a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 250 from 261 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 50

Advancing to step 4:
50 can be fit into 118 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtracting 100 from 118 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 184 / 50

On to step 5:
50 can be fit into 184 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 523.0
If we subtract 150 from 184, we get 34.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 349 / 50

Let's proceed to step 6:
50 can be fit into 349 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5236.0
Subtracting 300 from 349 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 490 by 50, we get 9 and a remainder of 40.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5236.9
Subtracting 450 from 490 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.

Moving on to step 8:
400 divided by 50 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5236.98
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.

Advancing to step 9:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5236.98
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5236.98
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 5236.98 with a remainder of 0.0.
