We're dividing 371281 by 51 
Our goal is to divide 371281 by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
37 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 371 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 51 fits into 371 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 357 away from 371, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 142 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtract 102 from 142 to get 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 408 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 728.0
Subtract 408 from 408 to get 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7280.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7280.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
100 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7280.01
If we take 51 away from 100, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
490 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7280.019
Subtracting 459 from 490 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 310 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7280.0196
If we subtract 306 from 310, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
51 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7280.0196
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7280.019607
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 357 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 430 by 51, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7280.0196078
Subtracting 408 from 430 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 220 by 51, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7280.01960784
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.

The final outcome is 7280.01960784, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
