We're dividing 51023976 by 879 
Let's see how many times 879 fits into 51023976.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 879 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 879

Moving on to step 2:
The number 879 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 510 / 879

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 510 by 879, we get 0 and a remainder of 510.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 510 and we're left with 510.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 510, then carry on: 5102 / 879

On to step 4:
If we divide 5102 by 879, we get 5 and a remainder of 707.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 4395 away from 5102, we end up with 707.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 707 and continue with: 7073 / 879

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 879 fits into 7073 8 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 7032 from 7073.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 419 / 879

On to step 6:
If we divide 419 by 879, we get 0 and a remainder of 419.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 580.0
Subtract 0 from 419 to get 419.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 419, then repeat: 4197 / 879

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 879 fits into 4197 4 times, leaving a remainder of 681.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5804.0
If we take 3516 away from 4197, we end up with 681.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 681 and continue: 6816 / 879

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 6816 by 879, we get 7 with a remainder of 663.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 58047.0
If we take 6153 away from 6816, we end up with 663.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6630, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 6630 by 879, we get 7 and a remainder of 477.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58047.7
The remainder is 477 after subtracting 6153 from 6630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
879 can be fit into 4770 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 375.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 58047.75
Subtract 4395 from 4770 to get 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 3750 by 879, we get 4 with a remainder of 234.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58047.754
If we take 3516 away from 3750, we end up with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 879 fits into 2340 2 times, leaving a remainder of 582.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58047.7542
Subtract 1758 from 2340 to get 582.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
879 can be fit into 5820 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 546.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58047.75426
The remainder is 546 after subtracting 5274 from 5820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 879 fits into 5460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 186.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58047.754266
Deduct 5274 from 5460 and we're left with 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

Our division results in 58047.754266 with a remaining 1.86e-05.
