298982 divided by 51 
We want to figure out the number of times 298982 can be divided by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 51

Moving on to step 2:
51 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
298 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 43.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 255 from 298.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
51 goes into 439 8 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 408 from 439, we get 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
51 can be fit into 318 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 586.0
If we subtract 306 from 318, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
51 can be fit into 122 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5862.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 102 from 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5862.3
If we subtract 153 from 200, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
51 goes into 470 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5862.39
If we subtract 459 from 470, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
110 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5862.392
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 51 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5862.3921
If we subtract 51 from 80, 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.

On to step 11:
51 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5862.39215
If we subtract 255 from 290, 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.

On to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5862.392156
Subtract 306 from 350 to 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.

On to step 13:
51 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5862.3921568
Subtract 408 from 440 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
320 divided by 51 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5862.39215686
If we subtract 306 from 320, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5862.39215686 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
