Let's divide 458278 by 51
We want to divide 458278 by 51.

Step 1:
51 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 45, we end up with 45.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 458 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 458 by 51, we get 8 with a remainder of 50.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 408 from 458 leaves us with 50.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 502 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 502 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
Subtracting 459 from 502 leaves us with 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 51 fits into 437 8 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 898.0
If we take 408 away from 437, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
51 goes into 298 5 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8985.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 255 from 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 7:
51 goes into 430 8 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8985.8
Deduct 408 from 430 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 51 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8985.84
If we take 204 away from 220, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 51 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8985.843
If we subtract 153 from 160, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
51 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8985.8431
If we subtract 51 from 70, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 11:
51 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8985.84313
Subtract 153 from 190 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 370 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8985.843137
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 13:
51 can be fit into 130 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8985.8431372
Deduct 102 from 130 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
280 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8985.84313725
Subtract 255 from 280 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8985.84313725 with a remaining 2.5e-08.
