54748 divided by 51 
We want to divide 54748 by 51.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 51

Step 2:
54 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 51 from 54 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 51

Step 3:
37 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 37 to get 37.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 374 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
374 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 107.0
Deduct 357 from 374 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 178 by 51, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1073.0
Subtract 153 from 178 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 6:
51 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1073.4
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 204 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1073.49
Subtract 459 from 460 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 51 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1073.49
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 49.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1073.4901
If we subtract 51 from 100, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 490 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1073.49019
Deduct 459 from 490 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 310 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1073.490196
Subtracting 306 from 310 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
40 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1073.490196
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
51 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1073.49019607
Subtract 357 from 400 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1073.49019607 and a remainder of 4.3e-08.
