We divide 587498 by 51
We want to divide 587498 by 51.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 51

Moving on to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 51 from 58.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 51

On to step 3:
77 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 51 from 77, we get 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
51 goes into 264 5 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtracting 255 from 264 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 51

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 99 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1151.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 51 from 99.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 488 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
51 goes into 488 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11519.0
Deduct 459 from 488 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
51 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11519.5
If we take 255 away from 290, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
51 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11519.56
Subtract 306 from 350 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
51 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11519.568
Subtracting 408 from 440 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
51 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11519.5686
If we take 306 away from 320, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
51 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11519.56862
Deduct 102 from 140 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 380 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11519.568627
Subtract 357 from 380 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
230 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11519.5686274
Subtract 204 from 230 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
51 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11519.56862745
Deduct 255 from 260 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11519.56862745 with a remaining 5e-09.
