We're dividing 51854985 by 481 
Our goal is to divide 51854985 by 481.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 481 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 481

Step 2:
51 divided by 481 is 0 with a remainder of 51.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 51 leaves us with 51.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 518 / 481

Advancing to step 3:
481 can be fit into 518 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 481 from 518 to get 37.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 375 / 481

Step 4:
If we divide 375 by 481, we get 0 and a remainder of 375.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 375 after subtracting 0 from 375.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 375 and continue with: 3754 / 481

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 481 fits into 3754 7 times, leaving a remainder of 387.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107.0
If we subtract 3367 from 3754, we get 387.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 387, then repeat: 3879 / 481

Step 6:
The number 481 fits into 3879 8 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1078.0
If we take 3848 away from 3879, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 481

Step 7:
If we divide 318 by 481, we get 0 and a remainder of 318.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10780.0
Subtracting 0 from 318 leaves us with 318.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 318, then carry on: 3185 / 481

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 481 fits into 3185 6 times, leaving a remainder of 299.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 107806.0
The remainder is 299 after subtracting 2886 from 3185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2990, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 2990 by 481, we get 6 with a remainder of 104.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 107806.6
The remainder is 104 after subtracting 2886 from 2990.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1040 by 481, we get 2 with a remainder of 78.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 107806.62
Subtracting 962 from 1040 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 780 by 481, we get 1 and a remainder of 299.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 107806.621
Deduct 481 from 780 and we're left with 299.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
481 goes into 2990 6 times with a remainder of 104.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107806.6216
Subtract 2886 from 2990 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 1040 by 481, we get 2 and a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107806.62162
Subtract 962 from 1040 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
481 can be fit into 780 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 299.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 107806.621621
If we subtract 481 from 780, we get 299.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 481 fits into 2990 6 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 107806.6216216
Subtracting 2886 from 2990 leaves us with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 1040 by 481, we get 2 with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107806.62162162
If we take 962 away from 1040, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 107806.62162162 and a remainder of 7.8e-08.
