We divide 887846 by 51
We want to figure out the number of times 887846 can be divided by 51.

Step 1:
51 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
88 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 51 from 88.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 377 / 51

Advancing to step 3:
377 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 357 from 377, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 208 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtracting 204 from 208 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 51

Step 5:
The number 51 fits into 44 0 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1740.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 0 from 44.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 446 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 446 by 51, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17408.0
Subtract 408 from 446 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
380 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17408.7
If we take 357 away from 380, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 51 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17408.74
Subtract 204 from 230 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
260 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17408.745
Deduct 255 from 260 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17408.745
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
51 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17408.74509
If we subtract 459 from 500, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
51 goes into 410 8 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17408.745098
Subtracting 408 from 410 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
51 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17408.745098
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17408.74509803
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 153 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17408.74509803 with a remaining 4.7e-08.
