Let's divide 56872410 by 51
We want to figure out the number of times 56872410 can be divided by 51.

On to step 1:
51 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
51 can be fit into 56 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 51 from 56 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 51

Step 3:
51 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 51 from 58 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
77 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 111.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 51 from 77.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 51

On to step 5:
51 can be fit into 262 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1115.0
Subtract 255 from 262 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
51 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11151.0
If we take 51 away from 74, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 51

Moving on to step 7:
231 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111514.0
Subtracting 204 from 231 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 270 / 51

On to step 8:
51 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1115145.0
Subtracting 255 from 270 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
150 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1115145.2
Subtract 102 from 150 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
51 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1115145.29
If we subtract 459 from 480, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
210 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1115145.294
If we subtract 204 from 210, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
60 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1115145.2941
Deduct 51 from 60 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
51 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1115145.29411
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 51 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

The final result is 1115145.29411 with a remainder of 3.9e-05.
