261046 ÷ 51 
We want to divide 261046 by 51.

On to step 1:
51 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
26 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 51

Step 3:
261 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 255 from 261.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 51

Step 4:
If we divide 60 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 51 from 60 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 51 fits into 94 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 511.0
Subtract 51 from 94 to get 43.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 436 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
51 goes into 436 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5118.0
Subtract 408 from 436 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
51 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5118.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
250 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5118.54
Subtract 204 from 250 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
51 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5118.549
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 459 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
51 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5118.549
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
100 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5118.54901
If we subtract 51 from 100, we get 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 12:
51 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5118.549019
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.

Moving on to step 13:
51 goes into 310 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5118.5490196
Deduct 306 from 310 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
51 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5118.5490196
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5118.5490196 and a remainder of 4e-08.
