We're dividing 51883749 by 872 
We want to figure out the number of times 51883749 can be divided by 872.

Advancing to step 1:
872 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 872

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 518 / 872

Going ahead to step 3:
518 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 518.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 518 and we're left with 518.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 518, then repeat: 5188 / 872

Moving on to step 4:
872 goes into 5188 5 times with a remainder of 828.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 4360 from 5188 to get 828.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 828 and repeat the process: 8283 / 872

Step 5:
8283 divided by 872 is 9 with a remainder of 435.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 435 after subtracting 7848 from 8283.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 435, then repeat: 4357 / 872

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 4357 by 872, we get 4 with a remainder of 869.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 594.0
If we subtract 3488 from 4357, we get 869.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 869 and continue with: 8694 / 872

On to step 7:
If we divide 8694 by 872, we get 9 and a remainder of 846.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5949.0
If we subtract 7848 from 8694, we get 846.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 846 and continue with: 8469 / 872

Moving on to step 8:
8469 divided by 872 is 9 with a remainder of 621.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59499.0
The remainder is 621 after subtracting 7848 from 8469.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 872 fits into 6210 7 times, leaving a remainder of 106.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59499.7
Subtracting 6104 from 6210 leaves us with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1060 by 872, we get 1 with a remainder of 188.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59499.71
Deduct 872 from 1060 and we're left with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 872 fits into 1880 2 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59499.712
Deduct 1744 from 1880 and we're left with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 1360 by 872, we get 1 and a remainder of 488.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59499.7121
The remainder is 488 after subtracting 872 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Step 13:
872 can be fit into 4880 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 520.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59499.71215
If we subtract 4360 from 4880, we get 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
872 can be fit into 5200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 840.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59499.712155
Subtracting 4360 from 5200 leaves us with 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 59499.712155 and a remainder of 8.4e-05.
