We're dividing 205978 by 51 
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 205978.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
51 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 205 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
51 can be fit into 205 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 204 away from 205, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 51

On to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 51

Step 5:
51 can be fit into 197 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 403.0
Deduct 153 from 197 and we're left with 44.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 448 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
51 goes into 448 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4038.0
Deduct 408 from 448 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
51 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4038.7
Subtracting 357 from 400 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
430 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4038.78
Subtracting 408 from 430 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
220 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4038.784
Subtracting 204 from 220 leaves us 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 10:
51 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4038.7843
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
70 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4038.78431
Subtracting 51 from 70 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
190 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4038.784313
If we subtract 153 from 190, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
370 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4038.7843137
If we take 357 away from 370, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 130 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4038.78431372
If we subtract 102 from 130, we 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.

Our division results in 4038.78431372 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
