972974 divided by 51 
We want to divide 972974 by 51.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 51

Step 2:
The number 51 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 51 from 97, we get 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 462 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 462 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 459 from 462, we get 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 39 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 190.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 397 / 51

On to step 5:
51 can be fit into 397 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1907.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 357 from 397.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 404 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 404 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19077.0
If we take 357 away from 404, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
51 goes into 470 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19077.9
If we take 459 away from 470, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
51 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19077.92
Deduct 102 from 110 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19077.921
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 51 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
290 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19077.9215
Subtracting 255 from 290 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
51 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19077.92156
Subtract 306 from 350 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 440 by 51, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19077.921568
Deduct 408 from 440 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19077.9215686
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 306 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19077.92156862
If we take 102 away from 140, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 19077.92156862 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
