Let's divide 457604 by 51
We want to figure out the number of times 457604 can be divided by 51.

On to step 1:
51 goes into 4 0 times with 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.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 45, we end up with 45.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 457 / 51

Moving on to step 3:
The number 51 fits into 457 8 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 408 from 457.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 496 / 51

On to step 4:
When dividing 496 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we subtract 459 from 496, we get 37.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 370 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
370 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 897.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 357 from 370.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 51

On to step 6:
51 can be fit into 134 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8972.0
Subtracting 102 from 134 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8972.6
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 306 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
140 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8972.62
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 102 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 380 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8972.627
Subtracting 357 from 380 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
51 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8972.6274
If we take 204 away from 230, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 51 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8972.62745
Subtract 255 from 260 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
51 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8972.62745
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8972.6274509
If we subtract 459 from 500, we 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.

On to step 14:
51 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8972.62745098
Subtracting 408 from 410 leaves us 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.

The final result is 8972.62745098 with a remainder of 2e-09.
