Let's divide 196257 by 51
We want to divide 196257 by 51.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
51 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
51 goes into 196 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 153 from 196, we get 43.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 432 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
51 can be fit into 432 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 408 away from 432, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 51

Step 5:
The number 51 fits into 245 4 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 384.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 204 from 245.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 417 / 51

Step 6:
If we divide 417 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 9.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3848.0
If we take 408 away from 417, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3848.1
Deduct 51 from 90 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 51 fits into 390 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3848.17
If we subtract 357 from 390, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 51 fits into 330 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3848.176
Deduct 306 from 330 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
240 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3848.1764
Subtracting 204 from 240 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
51 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3848.17647
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 357 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 12:
30 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3848.17647
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3848.1764705
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 255 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3848.17647058
If we take 408 away from 450, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3848.17647058, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
