We're dividing 18706 by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 18706.

Going ahead to step 1:
51 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
18 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 187 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 153 from 187 to get 34.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 340 / 51

Step 4:
51 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 306 away from 340, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 346 / 51

Step 5:
51 goes into 346 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 366.0
Subtracting 306 from 346 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
51 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 366.7
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 357 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 51, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 366.78
Subtracting 408 from 430 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 366.784
Subtracting 204 from 220 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
160 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 366.7843
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 70 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 366.78431
Subtracting 51 from 70 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
51 goes into 190 3 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 366.784313
Subtracting 153 from 190 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
370 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 366.7843137
Subtract 357 from 370 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 130 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 366.78431372
Subtracting 102 from 130 leaves us with 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 366.78431372 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
