We're dividing 235648 by 51 
We want to divide 235648 by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
51 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 235 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 235 by 51, we get 4 with a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 204 from 235 to get 31.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 316 / 51

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 316 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtract 306 from 316 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 104 / 51

Moving on to step 5:
The number 51 fits into 104 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 462.0
If we take 102 away from 104, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 28 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4620.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 51 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4620.5
If we subtract 255 from 280, we 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 8:
51 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4620.54
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 51 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4620.549
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 459 from 460.
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 10:
10 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4620.549
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 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 11:
If we divide 100 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4620.54901
Subtracting 51 from 100 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 490 9 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4620.549019
Subtract 459 from 490 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
51 goes into 310 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4620.5490196
If we subtract 306 from 310, we get 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 14:
51 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4620.5490196
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4620.5490196, with a leftover of 4e-08.
