\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}\phantom{1}\\40\overline{)50}\\\end{array}
Use the 1^{st} digit 5 from dividend 50
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}0\phantom{2}\\40\overline{)50}\\\end{array}
Since 5 is less than 40, use the next digit 0 from dividend 50 and add 0 to the quotient
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}0\phantom{3}\\40\overline{)50}\\\end{array}
Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 50
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}01\phantom{4}\\40\overline{)50}\\\phantom{40)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{}}\\\phantom{40)}10\\\end{array}
Find closest multiple of 40 to 50. We see that 1 \times 40 = 40 is the nearest. Now subtract 40 from 50 to get reminder 10. Add 1 to quotient.
\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }10
Since 10 is less than 40, stop the division. The reminder is 10. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.
