We divide 978178 by 51
Our goal is to divide 978178 by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
51 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
51 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 51 from 97 to get 46.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 468 / 51

Step 3:
51 can be fit into 468 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 459 from 468.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 91 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 191.0
If we take 51 away from 91, we end up with 40.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
51 can be fit into 407 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1917.0
If we take 357 away from 407, we end up with 50.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 508 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 508 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19179.0
Subtract 459 from 508 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 490 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19179.9
If we take 459 away from 490, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
51 goes into 310 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19179.96
Subtracting 306 from 310 leaves us with 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 9:
51 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19179.96
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Step 10:
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: 19179.9607
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.

On to step 11:
The number 51 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 19179.96078
If we subtract 408 from 430, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
51 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19179.960784
Subtract 204 from 220 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
160 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 19179.9607843
Deduct 153 from 160 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19179.96078431
Subtract 51 from 70 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final result is 19179.96078431 with a remainder of 1.9e-08.
