218285 ÷ 50 
We want to divide 218285 by 50.

Let's proceed to step 1:
50 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 50

Step 2:
50 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 50

Let's proceed to step 3:
50 goes into 218 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 200 from 218 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 182 / 50

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 182 by 50, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 150 from 182, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 328 / 50

On to step 5:
The number 50 fits into 328 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 436.0
If we subtract 300 from 328, we get 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 50

Moving on to step 6:
The number 50 fits into 285 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4365.0
Deduct 250 from 285 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 50, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4365.7
If we subtract 350 from 350, 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 8:
0 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4365.7
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 0 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4365.7
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.

After the division, we end up with 4365.7 and a remainder of 0.0.
