Let's divide 74041 by 51
Our goal is to divide 74041 by 51.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 51

Step 2:
If we divide 74 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 51 away from 74, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 230 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 230 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 204 from 230, we get 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
264 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtract 255 from 264 to get 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 51

On to step 5:
91 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1451.0
If we subtract 51 from 91, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
51 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1451.7
If we subtract 357 from 400, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1451.78
Subtract 408 from 430 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 51 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1451.784
Deduct 204 from 220 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
160 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1451.7843
If we subtract 153 from 160, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
70 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1451.78431
Subtract 51 from 70 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 190 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1451.784313
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 153 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 12:
51 goes into 370 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1451.7843137
Subtracting 357 from 370 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
51 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1451.78431372
If we subtract 102 from 130, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1451.78431372 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
