Let's divide 196984 by 51
We want to figure out the number of times 196984 can be divided by 51.

On to step 1:
51 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 51

Step 2:
The number 51 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 196 / 51

Step 3:
196 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 153 away from 196, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 439 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 439 8 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 408 from 439.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
318 divided by 51 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 386.0
Subtracting 306 from 318 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 124 / 51

Step 6:
When dividing 124 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3862.0
If we take 102 away from 124, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
51 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3862.4
If we subtract 204 from 220, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
51 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3862.43
If we subtract 153 from 160, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 70 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3862.431
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 51 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 10:
51 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3862.4313
Deduct 153 from 190 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
370 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3862.43137
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 357 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 12:
51 can be fit into 130 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3862.431372
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 102 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
51 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3862.4313725
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.

Advancing to step 14:
51 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3862.43137254
Subtracting 204 from 250 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 3862.43137254, with a leftover of 4.6e-08.
