We're dividing 257299 by 50 
We're looking to find how many times 50 goes into 257299.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 50 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 50

Moving on to step 2:
50 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 50

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 50, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 250 from 257 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 50

Advancing to step 4:
50 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 50 from 72.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 50

Advancing to step 5:
229 divided by 50 is 4 with a remainder of 29.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 514.0
Subtract 200 from 229 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 50

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 299 by 50, we get 5 and a remainder of 49.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5145.0
If we subtract 250 from 299, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 490 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5145.9
Subtract 450 from 490 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 50, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5145.98
Subtracting 400 from 400 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.

Step 9:
0 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5145.98
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.

Advancing to step 10:
0 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5145.98
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 5145.98 with a remaining 0.0.
