Let's divide 986554 by 51
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 986554.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 51 from 98, we get 47.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 476 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 476 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 459 from 476 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 175 / 51

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 175 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 193.0
If we subtract 153 from 175, we get 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 225 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 21.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1934.0
If we take 204 away from 225, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 214 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19344.0
Subtracting 204 from 214 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
100 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 19344.1
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 51 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 490 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19344.19
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.

On to step 9:
51 goes into 310 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19344.196
Subtracting 306 from 310 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 51 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19344.196
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19344.19607
If we subtract 357 from 400, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
51 can be fit into 430 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19344.196078
Subtract 408 from 430 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 220 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19344.1960784
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 204 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19344.19607843
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 19344.19607843 and a remainder of 7e-09.
