842462 ÷ 51 
We want to figure out the number of times 842462 can be divided by 51.

On to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 51

On to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 84 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 51 from 84 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 332 / 51

Step 3:
51 can be fit into 332 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 306 from 332.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 51

On to step 4:
264 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 165.0
Subtracting 255 from 264 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
96 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1651.0
If we subtract 51 from 96, we get 45.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 452 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 452 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16518.0
If we subtract 408 from 452, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16518.8
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 408 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 320 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16518.86
Deduct 306 from 320 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16518.862
If we take 102 away from 140, we end up 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 10:
380 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16518.8627
If we subtract 357 from 380, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
230 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16518.86274
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 204 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 260 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16518.862745
If we subtract 255 from 260, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 51 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16518.862745
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 500 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16518.86274509
If we take 459 away from 500, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16518.86274509, and the remainder is 4.1e-08.
