We look at the division of 51879744 by 478 
Let's see how many times 478 fits into 51879744.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 478, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 478

Going ahead to step 2:
478 can be fit into 51 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 51 and we're left with 51.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 518 / 478

Going ahead to step 3:
478 can be fit into 518 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 478 from 518.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 478

Moving on to step 4:
478 can be fit into 407 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 407.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 407 and we're left with 407.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 407, then repeat: 4079 / 478

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 478 fits into 4079 8 times, leaving a remainder of 255.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we take 3824 away from 4079, we end up with 255.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 255 and continue with: 2557 / 478

Advancing to step 6:
The number 478 fits into 2557 5 times, leaving a remainder of 167.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1085.0
Deduct 2390 from 2557 and we're left with 167.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 167, then repeat: 1674 / 478

On to step 7:
The number 478 fits into 1674 3 times, leaving a remainder of 240.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10853.0
If we take 1434 away from 1674, we end up with 240.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 240 and continue: 2404 / 478

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 2404 by 478, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 108535.0
If we take 2390 away from 2404, we end up 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 9:
478 can be fit into 140 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 140.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 108535.0
If we subtract 0 from 140, we get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 1400 by 478, we get 2 with a remainder of 444.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 108535.02
If we subtract 956 from 1400, we get 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Step 11:
4440 divided by 478 is 9 with a remainder of 138.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108535.029
If we take 4302 away from 4440, we end up with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
478 goes into 1380 2 times with a remainder of 424.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 108535.0292
Subtracting 956 from 1380 leaves us with 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
4240 divided by 478 is 8 with a remainder of 416.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108535.02928
Deduct 3824 from 4240 and we're left with 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 4160 by 478, we get 8 and a remainder of 336.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 108535.029288
If we subtract 3824 from 4160, we get 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 108535.029288 with a balance of 3.36e-05.
