We're dividing 550988 by 51 
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 550988.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 51 from 55, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 40 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 409 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108.0
Subtract 408 from 409 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1080.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
188 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10803.0
If we subtract 153 from 188, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
51 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10803.6
Deduct 306 from 350 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10803.68
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 51 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10803.686
Subtracting 306 from 320 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
51 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10803.6862
Deduct 102 from 140 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 51 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10803.68627
If we take 357 away from 380, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
230 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10803.686274
If we subtract 204 from 230, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 51 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10803.6862745
Subtracting 255 from 260 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
50 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10803.6862745
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.

The final result is 10803.6862745 with a remainder of 5e-08.
