We look at the division of 51100456 by 988 
We want to divide 51100456 by 988.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 988

Let's proceed to step 2:
51 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 51 to get 51.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 511 / 988

Going ahead to step 3:
988 goes into 511 0 times with a remainder of 511.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 511, we get 511.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 511 and continue with: 5110 / 988

Step 4:
The number 988 fits into 5110 5 times, leaving a remainder of 170.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4940 from 5110 leaves us with 170.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 170 and repeat the process: 1700 / 988

Moving on to step 5:
1700 divided by 988 is 1 with a remainder of 712.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 712 after subtracting 988 from 1700.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 712 and repeat the process: 7124 / 988

Step 6:
When dividing 7124 by 988, we get 7 with a remainder of 208.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 517.0
If we take 6916 away from 7124, we end up with 208.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 208, then carry on: 2085 / 988

Step 7:
The number 988 fits into 2085 2 times, leaving a remainder of 109.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5172.0
Deduct 1976 from 2085 and we're left with 109.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 109, then carry on: 1096 / 988

Moving on to step 8:
988 can be fit into 1096 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51721.0
Deduct 988 from 1096 and we're left with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
988 can be fit into 1080 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51721.1
If we take 988 away from 1080, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
988 can be fit into 920 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 920.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 51721.1
Subtract 0 from 920 to get 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 9200 by 988, we get 9 with a remainder of 308.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 51721.109
Subtracting 8892 from 9200 leaves us with 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 3080 by 988, we get 3 and a remainder of 116.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 51721.1093
Subtract 2964 from 3080 to get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
988 goes into 1160 1 times with a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51721.10931
If we subtract 988 from 1160, we get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
988 can be fit into 1720 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 732.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51721.109311
Deduct 988 from 1720 and we're left with 732.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 51721.109311 with a balance of 7.32e-05.
