Let's divide 269972 by 50
We want to figure out the number of times 269972 can be divided by 50.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 50

Moving on to step 2:
50 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 50

Step 3:
When dividing 269 by 50, we get 5 with a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 250 from 269 to get 19.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 199 / 50

Advancing to step 4:
199 divided by 50 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 150 from 199 leaves us with 49.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 497 / 50

On to step 5:
497 divided by 50 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 539.0
Deduct 450 from 497 and we're left with 47.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 472 / 50

Moving on to step 6:
50 can be fit into 472 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5399.0
If we subtract 450 from 472, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
50 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5399.4
Subtract 200 from 220 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
50 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5399.44
Subtracting 200 from 200 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 5399.44 with a remaining 0.0.
