We're dividing 961285 by 51 
Our goal is to divide 961285 by 51.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
51 can be fit into 96 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 51 from 96.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 451 / 51

On to step 3:
When dividing 451 by 51, we get 8 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 408 from 451, we get 43.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 432 / 51

Step 4:
432 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 188.0
If we subtract 408 from 432, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 51

On to step 5:
248 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1884.0
Subtracting 204 from 248 leaves us with 44.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 445 / 51

On to step 6:
If we divide 445 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 37.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18848.0
Subtracting 408 from 445 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18848.7
Deduct 357 from 370 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
51 can be fit into 130 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18848.72
If we take 102 away from 130, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
280 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18848.725
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 255 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
250 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18848.7254
If we subtract 204 from 250, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
51 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18848.72549
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 459 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 10 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18848.72549
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 51 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18848.7254901
If we subtract 51 from 100, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
51 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18848.72549019
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.

Our division results in 18848.72549019 with a remaining 3.1e-08.
