Let's divide 974290 by 51
Our goal is to divide 974290 by 51.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 51

Step 2:
If we divide 97 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 51 from 97.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 464 / 51

On to step 3:
If we divide 464 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 459 from 464 to get 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 51

On to step 4:
51 goes into 52 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 191.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 51 from 52.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 51 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1910.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 190 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 190 by 51, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19103.0
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
370 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19103.7
Subtracting 357 from 370 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 51 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19103.72
Deduct 102 from 130 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 280 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19103.725
Subtract 255 from 280 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
51 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19103.7254
Deduct 204 from 250 and we're left 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 11:
51 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19103.72549
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 459 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 10 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19103.72549
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19103.7254901
Subtract 51 from 100 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 14:
51 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19103.72549019
Subtract 459 from 490 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 19103.72549019 with a remaining 3.1e-08.
