We divide 316879 by 51
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 316879.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 51

Moving on to step 2:
31 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 316 / 51

Step 3:
If we divide 316 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 306 from 316 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
51 goes into 108 2 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 102 from 108 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
51 can be fit into 67 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 621.0
Deduct 51 from 67 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 169 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6213.0
Deduct 153 from 169 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
The number 51 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6213.3
If we take 153 away from 160, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 70 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6213.31
If we take 51 away from 70, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
190 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6213.313
Deduct 153 from 190 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 370 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6213.3137
Deduct 357 from 370 and we're left 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 11:
130 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6213.31372
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 102 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
51 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6213.313725
If we subtract 255 from 280, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 250 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6213.3137254
If we take 204 away from 250, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 460 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6213.31372549
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 459 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 6213.31372549 with a remainder of 1e-09.
