We're dividing 848871 by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 848871.

On to step 1:
51 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
84 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 51 from 84, we get 33.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 338 / 51

On to step 3:
If we divide 338 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 306 from 338, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 328 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
51 goes into 328 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 306 from 328.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 227 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
51 goes into 227 4 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1664.0
Subtracting 204 from 227 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
51 can be fit into 231 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16644.0
Subtracting 204 from 231 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
51 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16644.5
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 255 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
150 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16644.52
Deduct 102 from 150 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
480 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16644.529
Subtracting 459 from 480 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 210 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16644.5294
Deduct 204 from 210 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
51 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16644.52941
If we subtract 51 from 60, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 90 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16644.529411
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 51 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16644.529411 with a balance of 3.9e-06.
