988844 divided by 51 
We want to figure out the number of times 988844 can be divided by 51.

Step 1:
51 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 51 from 98 to get 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 51

On to step 3:
When dividing 478 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 459 from 478 to get 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 51

Let's proceed to step 4:
51 can be fit into 198 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 193.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 153 from 198.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 454 / 51

On to step 5:
51 goes into 454 8 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1938.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 408 from 454.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 464 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
51 can be fit into 464 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19389.0
If we take 459 away from 464, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19389.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 500 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19389.09
Subtracting 459 from 500 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
51 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19389.098
Subtracting 408 from 410 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 51 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19389.098
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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 19389.09803
Subtract 153 from 200 to 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.

On to step 12:
470 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19389.098039
Subtract 459 from 470 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 110 by 51, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19389.0980392
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 102 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19389.09803921
If we subtract 51 from 80, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 19389.09803921 and a remainder of 2.9e-08.
