We divide 726231 by 51
We want to divide 726231 by 51.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 51 from 72 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 216 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 51 fits into 216 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 204 from 216.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 122 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 122 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.0
If we subtract 102 from 122, we get 20.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 203 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
203 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 50.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1423.0
Deduct 153 from 203 and we're left with 50.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 501 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 501 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 42.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14239.0
Subtracting 459 from 501 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
420 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14239.8
Subtract 408 from 420 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
120 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14239.82
If we take 102 away from 120, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 180 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14239.823
Subtract 153 from 180 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 270 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14239.8235
If we take 255 away from 270, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
51 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14239.82352
If we subtract 102 from 150, we 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
480 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14239.823529
If we take 459 away from 480, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
51 can be fit into 210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14239.8235294
Deduct 204 from 210 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14239.82352941
If we take 51 away from 60, we end up 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.

The final result is 14239.82352941 with a remainder of 9e-09.
