Let's divide 51697988 by 406
Our goal is to divide 51697988 by 406.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 406, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 406

Let's proceed to step 2:
406 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 516 / 406

Let's proceed to step 3:
516 divided by 406 is 1 with a remainder of 110.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 110 after subtracting 406 from 516.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 110 and continue: 1109 / 406

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1109 by 406, we get 2 with a remainder of 297.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 812 from 1109 and we're left with 297.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 297 and continue: 2977 / 406

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 406 fits into 2977 7 times, leaving a remainder of 135.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtracting 2842 from 2977 leaves us with 135.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 135, then repeat: 1359 / 406

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 406 fits into 1359 3 times, leaving a remainder of 141.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1273.0
If we subtract 1218 from 1359, we get 141.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 141, then carry on: 1418 / 406

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 1418 by 406, we get 3 with a remainder of 200.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12733.0
Subtract 1218 from 1418 to get 200.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 200, then carry on: 2008 / 406

Moving on to step 8:
The number 406 fits into 2008 4 times, leaving a remainder of 384.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 127334.0
Subtract 1624 from 2008 to get 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 406 fits into 3840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 186.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 127334.9
If we take 3654 away from 3840, we end up with 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 1860 by 406, we get 4 and a remainder of 236.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 127334.94
Subtracting 1624 from 1860 leaves us with 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
406 can be fit into 2360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 330.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 127334.945
Subtract 2030 from 2360 to get 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 3300 by 406, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 127334.9458
If we take 3248 away from 3300, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 520 by 406, we get 1 with a remainder of 114.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127334.94581
If we take 406 away from 520, we end up with 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
406 can be fit into 1140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 328.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 127334.945812
Subtracting 812 from 1140 leaves us with 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 406 fits into 3280 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127334.9458128
Deduct 3248 from 3280 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 406 fits into 320 0 times, leaving a remainder of 320.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 127334.9458128
If we subtract 0 from 320, we get 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 127334.9458128, and the remainder is 3.2e-07.
