Let's divide 306904 by 51
Our goal is to divide 306904 by 51.

On to step 1:
51 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 51

On to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 306 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
306 divided by 51 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 306 from 306.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 51

On to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 90 / 51

Moving on to step 5:
51 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 601.0
Deduct 51 from 90 and we're left with 39.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 394 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 394 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6017.0
Deduct 357 from 394 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
51 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6017.7
If we subtract 357 from 370, we get 13.
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:
130 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6017.72
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:
When dividing 280 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6017.725
If we take 255 away from 280, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
250 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6017.7254
Subtracting 204 from 250 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
51 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6017.72549
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6017.72549
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6017.7254901
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 490 9 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6017.72549019
If we take 459 away from 490, we end up 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 quotient of the division is 6017.72549019, and the remainder is 3.1e-08.
