We're dividing 217727 by 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 217727 can be divided by 50.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 50

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 50

Going ahead to step 3:
50 goes into 217 4 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 200 from 217.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 50

Step 4:
If we divide 177 by 50, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtracting 150 from 177 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 272 / 50

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 272 by 50, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 435.0
Deduct 250 from 272 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 227 / 50

Advancing to step 6:
The number 50 fits into 227 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4354.0
If we take 200 away from 227, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 270 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4354.5
Subtracting 250 from 270 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4354.54
Subtract 200 from 200 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 0 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4354.54
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.

On to step 10:
0 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4354.54
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 outcome is 4354.54, with a leftover of 0.0.
