We look at the division of 51485 by 17 
We want to divide 51485 by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 51 away from 51, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 4 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 17

Step 4:
The number 17 fits into 48 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 302.0
Subtract 34 from 48 to get 14.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 145 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 goes into 145 8 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3028.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 136 from 145.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 90 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3028.5
If we subtract 85 from 90, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3028.52
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 34 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3028.529
Deduct 153 from 160 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
17 can be fit into 70 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3028.5294
Subtract 68 from 70 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 10:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3028.52941
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3028.529411
Subtract 17 from 30 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final result is 3028.529411 with a remainder of 1.3e-06.
