We're dividing 40988307 by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 40988307.

Step 1:
The number 51 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 51

Step 2:
If we divide 40 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 51

Moving on to step 3:
51 goes into 409 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 408 from 409.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 188 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
188 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 803.0
Deduct 153 from 188 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 353 / 51

Step 6:
51 goes into 353 6 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8036.0
Subtracting 306 from 353 leaves us with 47.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 470 / 51

Step 7:
The number 51 fits into 470 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 80369.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 459 from 470.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 51

Going ahead to step 8:
51 goes into 117 2 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 803692.0
Subtracting 102 from 117 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
51 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 803692.2
If we take 102 away from 150, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
51 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 803692.29
If we take 459 away from 480, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 11:
51 can be fit into 210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 803692.294
Deduct 204 from 210 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
51 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 803692.2941
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 51 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
51 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 803692.29411
If we take 51 away from 90, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Our division results in 803692.29411 with a remaining 3.9e-05.
