Let's divide 596404 by 51
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 596404.

Advancing to step 1:
51 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 51

On to step 2:
59 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 51 from 59 to get 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 51

On to step 3:
86 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 51 from 86 leaves us with 35.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 354 / 51

Let's proceed to step 4:
51 goes into 354 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 116.0
Deduct 306 from 354 and we're left with 48.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 480 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 480 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1169.0
Subtracting 459 from 480 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 214 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 214 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11694.0
Subtract 204 from 214 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
100 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11694.1
Deduct 51 from 100 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 490 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11694.19
Subtract 459 from 490 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
51 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11694.196
If we take 306 away from 310, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
40 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11694.196
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

On to step 11:
400 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11694.19607
Subtracting 357 from 400 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11694.196078
Deduct 408 from 430 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
51 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11694.1960784
If we subtract 204 from 220, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
51 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11694.19607843
Deduct 153 from 160 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11694.19607843 and a remainder of 7e-09.
