We divide 740187 by 51
We want to figure out the number of times 740187 can be divided by 51.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
51 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 51 away from 74, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 230 / 51

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 230 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 204 from 230 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
261 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtract 255 from 261 to get 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
51 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1451.0
If we take 51 away from 68, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
51 can be fit into 177 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14513.0
If we subtract 153 from 177, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14513.4
Deduct 204 from 240 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
360 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14513.47
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 30 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14513.47
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14513.4705
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 51, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14513.47058
Subtract 408 from 450 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 12:
51 goes into 420 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14513.470588
Deduct 408 from 420 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 14513.470588, and the remainder is 1.2e-06.
