We divide 864500 by 51
We want to divide 864500 by 51.

Moving on to step 1:
51 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in 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.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 51

Step 2:
The number 51 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 51 from 86 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 354 / 51

Step 3:
When dividing 354 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 306 from 354.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 485 / 51

Step 4:
485 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we subtract 459 from 485, we get 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 260 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1695.0
If we take 255 away from 260, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 50 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16950.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 51 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16950.9
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 459 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 51 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16950.98
If we take 408 away from 410, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16950.98
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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 10:
The number 51 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16950.9803
Subtracting 153 from 200 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
51 can be fit into 470 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16950.98039
Subtract 459 from 470 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 51 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16950.980392
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16950.9803921
If we take 51 away from 80, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
290 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16950.98039215
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 255 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16950.98039215 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
