Let's divide 742873 by 50
We want to figure out the number of times 742873 can be divided by 50.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 50

Moving on to step 2:
50 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 50 from 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 50

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 242 by 50, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 200 from 242, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 50

Moving on to step 4:
50 can be fit into 428 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148.0
Deduct 400 from 428 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 50

Moving on to step 5:
50 goes into 287 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1485.0
If we take 250 away from 287, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 373 / 50

On to step 6:
50 goes into 373 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14857.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 350 from 373.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
50 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14857.4
Subtract 200 from 230 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14857.46
Deduct 300 from 300 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.

On to step 9:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14857.46
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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: 14857.46
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.

Our division results in 14857.46 with a remaining 0.0.
