We're dividing 587789 by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 587789.

On to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
51 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 51 away from 58, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 51

Step 3:
The number 51 fits into 77 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 51 from 77 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 267 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 267 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 115.0
Deduct 255 from 267 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 51

On to step 5:
128 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1152.0
Subtract 102 from 128 to get 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
269 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11525.0
Deduct 255 from 269 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
51 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11525.2
Subtract 102 from 140 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
51 goes into 380 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11525.27
If we take 357 away from 380, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 230 by 51, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11525.274
If we subtract 204 from 230, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
51 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11525.2745
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 255 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11525.2745
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11525.274509
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 459 from 500.
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:
51 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11525.2745098
If we subtract 408 from 410, we get 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:
51 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11525.2745098
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 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 outcome is 11525.2745098, with a leftover of 2e-08.
