We look at the division of 948687 by 51 
Our goal is to divide 948687 by 51.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 94 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 51 from 94 and we're left with 43.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 438 / 51

On to step 3:
51 goes into 438 8 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 408 from 438 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 306 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
51 goes into 306 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 186.0
Deduct 306 from 306 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1860.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 87 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18601.0
If we take 51 away from 87, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 7:
360 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18601.7
Subtracting 357 from 360 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
30 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18601.7
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18601.705
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
51 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18601.7058
Subtract 408 from 450 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
420 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18601.70588
Subtracting 408 from 420 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18601.70588 with a balance of 1.2e-05.
