We're dividing 495874 by 51 
Our goal is to divide 495874 by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
51 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
51 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 495 / 51

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 495 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 459 from 495, we get 36.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 368 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 368 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
Deduct 357 from 368 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
117 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 972.0
Subtract 102 from 117 to get 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 51

On to step 6:
51 goes into 154 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9723.0
If we take 153 away from 154, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
10 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9723.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
51 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9723.01
If we take 51 away from 100, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 490 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9723.019
Subtracting 459 from 490 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 10:
310 divided by 51 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9723.0196
If we subtract 306 from 310, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
40 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9723.0196
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 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 12:
The number 51 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9723.019607
Subtract 357 from 400 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 51 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9723.0196078
If we take 408 away from 430, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
51 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9723.01960784
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9723.01960784 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
