Let's divide 50487 by 30
We want to divide 50487 by 30.

Advancing to step 1:
30 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 30

Step 2:
When dividing 50 by 30, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 30 from 50, we get 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 30

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 30 fits into 204 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 180 from 204 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 30

On to step 4:
30 can be fit into 248 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 240 from 248.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 30

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 87 by 30, we get 2 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1682.0
If we take 60 away from 87, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 270 by 30, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1682.9
Subtract 270 from 270 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 30, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1682.9
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.

On to step 8:
30 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: 1682.9
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.

After the division, we end up with 1682.9 and a remainder of 0.0.
