156487 ÷ 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 156487 can be divided by 50.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 50

Advancing to step 2:
50 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 50

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 156 by 50, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 150 from 156, we get 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 50

On to step 4:
50 can be fit into 64 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 50 from 64 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 50

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 148 by 50, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we take 100 away from 148, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 50

Going ahead to step 6:
487 divided by 50 is 9 with a remainder of 37.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3129.0
If we take 450 away from 487, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3129.7
Subtracting 350 from 370 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 50, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3129.74
Subtract 200 from 200 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.

On to step 9:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3129.74
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3129.74
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.

The quotient of the division is 3129.74, and the remainder is 0.0.
