Let's divide 487072 by 51
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 487072.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 51

On to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 459 from 487.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 280 / 51

Let's proceed to step 4:
51 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 95.0
Subtract 255 from 280 to get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 51

Moving on to step 5:
51 goes into 257 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 955.0
Subtracting 255 from 257 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 51

On to step 6:
22 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9550.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
220 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9550.4
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.

On to step 8:
51 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9550.43
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.

On to step 9:
The number 51 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9550.431
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 51 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 190 by 51, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9550.4313
Deduct 153 from 190 and we're left 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 11:
51 goes into 370 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9550.43137
Subtracting 357 from 370 leaves us with 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 12:
The number 51 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9550.431372
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.

Advancing to step 13:
280 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9550.4313725
Subtract 255 from 280 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
51 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9550.43137254
Subtract 204 from 250 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9550.43137254 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
