How to divide records by 50 ?

Greeting,
What I want to do is giving every 50 person one number. For example, every
50 person they take number 1, from 51 up to 100, they take number 2 , from
101 up to 150, they take number 3 and so on. How to do that please?

You really need to post more information regarding your objective.
Are you trying to display the number on a form or a report?
Do you want it to appear in a query?
What happens if a record is deleted?

Try this --
Add two fields, an autonumber named Auto and number field named Check_NUM.
Run update query on field Check_NUM ---
([Auto] \ 50) +1

The first group will only have 49 records but others will have 50 records
with same number in Check_NUM field.
