478857 divided by 50 
Let's see how many times 50 fits into 478857.

On to step 1:
50 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 50

Moving on to step 2:
The number 50 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 50

Step 3:
If we divide 478 by 50, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 450 away from 478, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 50

On to step 4:
If we divide 288 by 50, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 95.0
Subtract 250 from 288 to get 38.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 385 / 50

Moving on to step 5:
The number 50 fits into 385 7 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 957.0
If we subtract 350 from 385, we get 35.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 50

On to step 6:
357 divided by 50 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9577.0
If we take 350 away from 357, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 50, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9577.1
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 50 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 50 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9577.14
If we take 200 away from 200, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9577.14
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.

Step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9577.14
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 9577.14, and the remainder is 0.0.
