Let's divide 973138 by 51
We want to divide 973138 by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 51 from 97 to get 46.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 463 / 51

Advancing to step 3:
51 goes into 463 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 459 away from 463, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 41 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 190.0
If we subtract 0 from 41, we get 41.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 413 / 51

Step 5:
51 goes into 413 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1908.0
Subtracting 408 from 413 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 51

On to step 6:
If we divide 58 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19081.0
Subtracting 51 from 58 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
51 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19081.1
Deduct 51 from 70 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
190 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19081.13
Subtract 153 from 190 to get 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 9:
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: 19081.137
If we subtract 357 from 370, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
130 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19081.1372
Subtracting 102 from 130 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19081.13725
Subtracting 255 from 280 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
51 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19081.137254
Subtracting 204 from 250 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 460 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19081.1372549
Subtract 459 from 460 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 14:
51 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19081.1372549
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Our division results in 19081.1372549 with a remaining 1e-08.
