We're dividing 494882 by 51 
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 494882.

Step 1:
51 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 51

Step 2:
If we divide 49 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 494 / 51

Step 3:
The number 51 fits into 494 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 459 away from 494, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 358 / 51

On to step 4:
When dividing 358 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 357 from 358.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 18 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 970.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 182 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 182 by 51, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9703.0
If we subtract 153 from 182, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9703.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 350 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9703.56
If we subtract 306 from 350, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
51 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9703.568
Subtracting 408 from 440 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
320 divided by 51 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9703.5686
If we take 306 away from 320, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
140 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9703.56862
Subtract 102 from 140 to get 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 12:
380 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9703.568627
Subtract 357 from 380 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
230 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9703.5686274
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 204 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
260 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9703.56862745
If we take 255 away from 260, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9703.56862745 with a balance of 5e-09.
