We're dividing 51708437 by 838 
We're looking to find how many times 838 goes into 51708437.

Let's proceed to step 1:
838 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 838

On to step 2:
The number 838 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 51 and we're left with 51.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 517 / 838

Going ahead to step 3:
838 can be fit into 517 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 517.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 517 leaves us with 517.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 517, then repeat: 5170 / 838

Moving on to step 4:
The number 838 fits into 5170 6 times, leaving a remainder of 142.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 142 after subtracting 5028 from 5170.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 142, then repeat: 1428 / 838

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 1428 by 838, we get 1 and a remainder of 590.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 838 away from 1428, we end up with 590.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 590 and repeat the process: 5904 / 838

Advancing to step 6:
5904 divided by 838 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 617.0
Subtracting 5866 from 5904 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 838

Step 7:
383 divided by 838 is 0 with a remainder of 383.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6170.0
If we subtract 0 from 383, we get 383.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 383, then repeat: 3837 / 838

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 838 fits into 3837 4 times, leaving a remainder of 485.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61704.0
Deduct 3352 from 3837 and we're left with 485.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4850, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 4850 by 838, we get 5 with a remainder of 660.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61704.5
Deduct 4190 from 4850 and we're left with 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 6600 by 838, we get 7 with a remainder of 734.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 61704.57
Subtract 5866 from 6600 to get 734.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 838 fits into 7340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 636.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 61704.578
The remainder is 636 after subtracting 6704 from 7340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 6360 by 838, we get 7 and a remainder of 494.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 61704.5787
Deduct 5866 from 6360 and we're left with 494.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
838 can be fit into 4940 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 750.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61704.57875
Subtracting 4190 from 4940 leaves us with 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
838 can be fit into 7500 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 796.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61704.578758
If we subtract 6704 from 7500, we get 796.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 7960 by 838, we get 9 with a remainder of 418.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61704.5787589
The remainder is 418 after subtracting 7542 from 7960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 838 fits into 4180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 828.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61704.57875894
Subtracting 3352 from 4180 leaves us with 828.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 61704.57875894 with a balance of 8.28e-07.
