We look at the division of 142085 by 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 142085 can be divided by 50.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 50 is 0 with 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.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 50

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 142 / 50

Step 3:
142 divided by 50 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 100 away from 142, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 420 / 50

On to step 4:
50 can be fit into 420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 400 from 420 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 50

Advancing to step 5:
The number 50 fits into 208 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 284.0
Deduct 200 from 208 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 50

Going ahead to step 6:
50 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2841.0
If we take 50 away from 85, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
350 divided by 50 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2841.7
If we take 350 away from 350, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 2841.7
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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: 2841.7
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.

Our division results in 2841.7 with a remaining 0.0.
