We divide 408261 by 51
We want to divide 408261 by 51.

On to step 1:
51 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 51

On to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 51

On to step 3:
51 can be fit into 408 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 408 from 408 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 51

Step 4:
If we divide 2 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
51 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 800.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 51

On to step 6:
When dividing 261 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8005.0
If we take 255 away from 261, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8005.1
Deduct 51 from 60 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
51 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8005.11
If we take 51 away from 90, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

The final result is 8005.11 with a remainder of 0.039.
