Let's divide 50848 by 17
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 50848.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
17 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 34 from 50 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 17

On to step 3:
17 can be fit into 168 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 153 from 168 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 154 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 154 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we subtract 153 from 154, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
17 goes into 18 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2991.0
Subtract 17 from 18 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2991.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2991.05
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2991.058
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2991.0588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2991.0588 and a remainder of 4e-05.
