We divide 50231983 by 171
We want to figure out the number of times 50231983 can be divided by 171.

Let's proceed to step 1:
171 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 171

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 171 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 502 / 171

On to step 3:
When dividing 502 by 171, we get 2 with a remainder of 160.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 342 from 502 to get 160.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 160, then carry on: 1603 / 171

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1603 by 171, we get 9 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 1539 from 1603, we get 64.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 641 / 171

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 641 by 171, we get 3 and a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 293.0
If we subtract 513 from 641, we get 128.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 128 and continue: 1289 / 171

Let's proceed to step 6:
171 can be fit into 1289 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2937.0
If we take 1197 away from 1289, we end up with 92.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 92 and repeat the process: 928 / 171

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 928 by 171, we get 5 and a remainder of 73.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29375.0
Deduct 855 from 928 and we're left with 73.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 733 / 171

On to step 8:
171 can be fit into 733 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 293754.0
If we subtract 684 from 733, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 490 by 171, we get 2 and a remainder of 148.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 293754.2
Subtract 342 from 490 to get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1480 by 171, we get 8 and a remainder of 112.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 293754.28
Subtract 1368 from 1480 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1120 by 171, we get 6 and a remainder of 94.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 293754.286
Subtract 1026 from 1120 to get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 940 by 171, we get 5 and a remainder of 85.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 293754.2865
If we subtract 855 from 940, we get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
171 can be fit into 850 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 293754.28654
Subtracting 684 from 850 leaves us with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 171 fits into 1660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 121.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 293754.286549
Subtracting 1539 from 1660 leaves us with 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 171 fits into 1210 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 293754.2865497
Subtracting 1197 from 1210 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 130 by 171, we get 0 and a remainder of 130.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 293754.2865497
Subtracting 0 from 130 leaves us with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 293754.2865497 with a balance of 1.3e-07.
