Let's divide 159412 by 51
Our goal is to divide 159412 by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
51 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 51

On to step 3:
When dividing 159 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 153 from 159 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
64 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 51 away from 64, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 131 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
51 can be fit into 131 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 312.0
Subtract 102 from 131 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 292 / 51

Step 6:
51 can be fit into 292 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3125.0
If we take 255 away from 292, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
51 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3125.7
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 357 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
51 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3125.72
If we take 102 away from 130, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
51 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3125.725
Subtract 255 from 280 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
250 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3125.7254
If we subtract 204 from 250, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
460 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3125.72549
If we take 459 away from 460, we end up with 1.
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 12:
When dividing 10 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3125.72549
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.

Step 13:
51 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3125.7254901
Deduct 51 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 490 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3125.72549019
Subtracting 459 from 490 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3125.72549019, with a leftover of 3.1e-08.
