We look at the division of 879256 by 50 
We want to figure out the number of times 879256 can be divided by 50.

On to step 1:
50 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 50

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 50, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 50 from 87 leaves us with 37.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 379 / 50

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 379 by 50, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 350 from 379 to get 29.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 292 / 50

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 292 by 50, we get 5 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtracting 250 from 292 leaves us with 42.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 50

On to step 5:
If we divide 425 by 50, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1758.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 400 from 425.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 50

Advancing to step 6:
256 divided by 50 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17585.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 250 from 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
50 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17585.1
Subtracting 50 from 60 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17585.12
If we take 100 away from 100, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17585.12
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Step 10:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17585.12
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The final result is 17585.12 with a remainder of 0.0.
