We divide 248462 by 51
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 248462.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
24 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
51 goes into 248 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 204 from 248 and we're left with 44.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 444 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 444 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 408 from 444.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 366 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
366 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 487.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 357 from 366.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 92 / 51

Step 6:
51 goes into 92 1 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4871.0
Subtract 51 from 92 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
410 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4871.8
Subtract 408 from 410 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4871.8
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 51, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4871.803
Subtracting 153 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 470 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4871.8039
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 51, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4871.80392
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4871.803921
If we take 51 away from 80, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
51 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4871.8039215
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 255 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
51 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4871.80392156
If we take 306 away from 350, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4871.80392156, and the remainder is 4.4e-08.
