We divide 874394 by 51
We want to figure out the number of times 874394 can be divided by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
51 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 51

On to step 2:
87 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 51 from 87, we get 36.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 364 / 51

On to step 3:
51 goes into 364 7 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 357 from 364 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 51

Step 4:
51 goes into 73 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we take 51 away from 73, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
229 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 25.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1714.0
If we take 204 away from 229, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
51 goes into 254 4 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17144.0
If we take 204 away from 254, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 500 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17144.9
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.

On to step 8:
410 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17144.98
If we take 408 away from 410, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17144.98
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.

On to step 10:
51 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17144.9803
If we take 153 away from 200, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
51 can be fit into 470 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17144.98039
Deduct 459 from 470 and we're left with 11.
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 12:
The number 51 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17144.980392
Deduct 102 from 110 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
The number 51 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17144.9803921
If we subtract 51 from 80, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 290 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17144.98039215
Subtracting 255 from 290 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17144.98039215 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
