972049 ÷ 51 
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 972049.

Moving on to step 1:
51 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 51 from 97.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 462 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 462 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 459 from 462 to get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 51

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 190.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 304 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1905.0
Subtracting 255 from 304 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 499 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 499 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 40.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19059.0
Subtract 459 from 499 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19059.7
If we take 357 away from 400, we end up with 43.
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 8:
430 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19059.78
Subtract 408 from 430 to 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 9:
220 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19059.784
If we take 204 away from 220, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 19059.7843
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 70 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19059.78431
Subtracting 51 from 70 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 190 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 19059.784313
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 153 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 51 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19059.7843137
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 14:
130 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19059.78431372
Subtract 102 from 130 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 19059.78431372, and the remainder is 2.8e-08.
