Let's divide 687976 by 50
We want to figure out the number of times 687976 can be divided by 50.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 50

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 50 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 50 from 68, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 50

Let's proceed to step 3:
187 divided by 50 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 150 from 187 and we're left with 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 50

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 50 fits into 379 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we subtract 350 from 379, we get 29.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 50

Let's proceed to step 5:
297 divided by 50 is 5 with a remainder of 47.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1375.0
Deduct 250 from 297 and we're left with 47.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 476 / 50

Moving on to step 6:
476 divided by 50 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13759.0
Deduct 450 from 476 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
260 divided by 50 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13759.5
Subtracting 250 from 260 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 50, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13759.52
Subtract 100 from 100 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:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13759.52
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13759.52
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.

After the division, we end up with 13759.52 and a remainder of 0.0.
