Thursday's Brain Bonker

A snail shell collector decides to divide his snail shell collection between his children. The oldest gets 1/2 of the collection, the next gets 1/4, the next gets 1/5, and the youngest gets the remaining 49 snail shells. How many snail shells are in the collection?

Good luck!!!
