We divide 73685 by 51
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 73685.

Going ahead to step 1:
51 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
73 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 51 from 73, we get 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 51 fits into 226 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 204 from 226 leaves us with 22.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 51

On to step 4:
51 goes into 228 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 144.0
If we subtract 204 from 228, we get 24.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 245 / 51

On to step 5:
When dividing 245 by 51, we get 4 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1444.0
Subtract 204 from 245 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 410 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1444.8
If we subtract 408 from 410, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
20 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1444.8
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 200 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1444.803
If we subtract 153 from 200, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 9:
470 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1444.8039
Subtracting 459 from 470 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 110 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1444.80392
Subtract 102 from 110 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
51 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1444.803921
Subtract 51 from 80 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1444.8039215
Subtract 255 from 290 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 350 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1444.80392156
Deduct 306 from 350 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 1444.80392156 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
