854987 ÷ 50 
Let's see how many times 50 fits into 854987.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 50

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 85 by 50, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 50 from 85 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 50

Advancing to step 3:
50 goes into 354 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 350 from 354.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 50

Moving on to step 4:
The number 50 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 50

Step 5:
50 can be fit into 498 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1709.0
If we subtract 450 from 498, we get 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 50

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 487 by 50, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17099.0
Subtract 450 from 487 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 50 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17099.7
Subtract 350 from 370 to get 20.
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:
200 divided by 50 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17099.74
If we subtract 200 from 200, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
50 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17099.74
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17099.74
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.

After the division, we end up with 17099.74 and a remainder of 0.0.
