147874 ÷ 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 147874 can be divided by 50.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 50

On to step 2:
50 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 50

Advancing to step 3:
50 can be fit into 147 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 100 from 147.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 50

Step 4:
If we divide 478 by 50, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 450 from 478.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 50

Step 5:
50 goes into 287 5 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 295.0
Subtracting 250 from 287 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 374 / 50

Going ahead to step 6:
50 goes into 374 7 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2957.0
Deduct 350 from 374 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2957.4
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 200 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
400 divided by 50 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2957.48
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 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2957.48
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2957.48
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 outcome is 2957.48, with a leftover of 0.0.
