50679 ÷ 17 
We want to divide 50679 by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
17 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 34 from 50 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 166 / 17

On to step 3:
17 can be fit into 166 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 153 from 166 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 137 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
17 goes into 137 8 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 298.0
If we subtract 136 from 137, we get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2981.0
If we take 17 away from 19, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2981.1
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2981.11
Subtract 17 from 30 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2981.11 and a remainder of 0.013.
