We're dividing 786981 by 50 
Our goal is to divide 786981 by 50.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 50

Step 2:
If we divide 78 by 50, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 50 from 78, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 286 / 50

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 286 by 50, we get 5 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 250 from 286 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 369 / 50

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 369 by 50, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtract 350 from 369 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 50

Moving on to step 5:
The number 50 fits into 198 3 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1573.0
If we take 150 away from 198, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 481 / 50

On to step 6:
When dividing 481 by 50, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15739.0
If we subtract 450 from 481, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
310 divided by 50 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15739.6
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 300 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 100 by 50, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15739.62
Subtracting 100 from 100 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 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: 15739.62
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15739.62
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.

The final result is 15739.62 with a remainder of 0.0.
