We divide 874517 by 51
We want to figure out the number of times 874517 can be divided by 51.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 51 from 87 to get 36.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 364 / 51

On to step 3:
51 goes into 364 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 357 from 364 to get 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 51

Step 4:
If we divide 75 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 51 from 75 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 241 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
51 can be fit into 241 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1714.0
If we take 204 away from 241, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 377 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
51 can be fit into 377 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17147.0
Subtracting 357 from 377 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17147.3
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 8:
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: 17147.39
Deduct 459 from 470 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
110 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17147.392
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.

On to step 10:
51 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17147.3921
Subtracting 51 from 80 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
51 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17147.39215
If we subtract 255 from 290, we 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 12:
51 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17147.392156
If we take 306 away from 350, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 51 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17147.3921568
If we subtract 408 from 440, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17147.39215686
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 306 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17147.39215686, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
