We're dividing 283837 by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 283837.

On to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 51

On to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 283 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
51 can be fit into 283 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 255 from 283.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
51 can be fit into 288 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 255 from 288, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 333 / 51

On to step 5:
51 can be fit into 333 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 556.0
Subtracting 306 from 333 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 277 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
51 can be fit into 277 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5565.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 255 from 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5565.4
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 204 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
51 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5565.43
If we take 153 away from 160, we end up 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:
When dividing 70 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5565.431
Deduct 51 from 70 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
51 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5565.4313
Subtracting 153 from 190 leaves us 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.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5565.43137
Subtract 357 from 370 to get 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:
51 can be fit into 130 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5565.431372
If we take 102 away from 130, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 5565.4313725
If we take 255 away from 280, we end up with 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:
If we divide 250 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5565.43137254
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 204 from 250.
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 5565.43137254 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
