Let's divide 726581 by 51
We want to divide 726581 by 51.

Let's proceed 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 51

Step 2:
The number 51 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 51 from 72 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 216 / 51

Advancing to step 3:
216 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 204 from 216, we get 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 51

Step 4:
When dividing 125 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Deduct 102 from 125 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 51

Step 5:
If we divide 238 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1424.0
Deduct 204 from 238 and we're left with 34.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 341 / 51

Step 6:
If we divide 341 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14246.0
If we take 306 away from 341, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
51 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14246.6
Subtracting 306 from 350 leaves us with 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 8:
440 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14246.68
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.

On to step 9:
51 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14246.686
Subtracting 306 from 320 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 51 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14246.6862
Deduct 102 from 140 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 380 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14246.68627
Subtracting 357 from 380 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 230 by 51, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14246.686274
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 204 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14246.6862745
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 255 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14246.6862745
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 14246.6862745, and the remainder is 5e-08.
