We look at the division of 978897 by 51 
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 978897.

On to step 1:
51 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 51

Step 2:
97 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 51 from 97 leaves us with 46.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 468 / 51

Moving on to step 3:
The number 51 fits into 468 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 459 from 468.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 51

Step 4:
When dividing 98 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 191.0
Deduct 51 from 98 and we're left with 47.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 479 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 479 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 20.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1919.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 459 from 479.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 207 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19194.0
If we take 204 away from 207, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
51 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19194.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
51 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19194.05
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 255 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
450 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19194.058
Subtracting 408 from 450 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 420 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19194.0588
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 408 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 19194.0588 and a remainder of 0.00012.
