We're dividing 265418 by 51 
Our goal is to divide 265418 by 51.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 265 / 51

On to step 3:
The number 51 fits into 265 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 255 away from 265, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 104 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 102 from 104 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 51 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 520.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 51

Step 6:
The number 51 fits into 218 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5204.0
If we take 204 away from 218, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5204.2
Subtracting 102 from 140 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5204.27
Subtracting 357 from 380 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
51 goes into 230 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5204.274
Subtracting 204 from 230 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
260 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5204.2745
Subtract 255 from 260 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
51 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5204.2745
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
51 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5204.274509
If we subtract 459 from 500, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 51 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5204.2745098
Subtracting 408 from 410 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5204.2745098
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 5204.2745098 with a remainder of 2e-08.
