We divide 280118 by 51
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 280118.

Let's proceed to step 1:
51 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
51 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 280 / 51

Step 3:
51 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 255 from 280 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 251 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
51 goes into 251 4 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 204 from 251, we get 47.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 471 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 471 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 549.0
Subtract 459 from 471 to get 12.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
51 goes into 128 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5492.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 102 from 128.
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 7:
If we divide 260 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5492.5
Subtract 255 from 260 to 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 8:
50 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5492.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
51 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5492.509
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 459 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
410 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5492.5098
Subtracting 408 from 410 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
20 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5492.5098
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 51, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5492.509803
Deduct 153 from 200 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 51 fits into 470 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5492.5098039
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 459 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
110 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5492.50980392
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5492.50980392 with a remaining 8e-09.
