Let's divide 308599 by 50
We're looking to find how many times 50 goes into 308599.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 50, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 50

Advancing to step 2:
30 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 50

On to step 3:
50 can be fit into 308 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 300 away from 308, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 50

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 85 by 50, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 50 from 85.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 359 / 50

Step 5:
359 divided by 50 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 617.0
Subtracting 350 from 359 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 50

Step 6:
50 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6171.0
If we take 50 away from 99, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
50 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6171.9
If we take 450 away from 490, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
50 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6171.98
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6171.98
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.

On to step 10:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6171.98
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 6171.98 with a remaining 0.0.
