We divide 51855044 by 987
We want to divide 51855044 by 987.

Going ahead to step 1:
987 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 987

On to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 987, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 518 / 987

On to step 3:
If we divide 518 by 987, we get 0 and a remainder of 518.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 518 and we're left with 518.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 518 and repeat the process: 5185 / 987

Let's proceed to step 4:
987 goes into 5185 5 times with a remainder of 250.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 4935 away from 5185, we end up with 250.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 250, then repeat: 2505 / 987

Going ahead to step 5:
2505 divided by 987 is 2 with a remainder of 531.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 1974 from 2505 and we're left with 531.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 531, then repeat: 5310 / 987

On to step 6:
If we divide 5310 by 987, we get 5 and a remainder of 375.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 525.0
If we take 4935 away from 5310, we end up with 375.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 375, then carry on: 3754 / 987

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 3754 by 987, we get 3 with a remainder of 793.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5253.0
If we take 2961 away from 3754, we end up with 793.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 793 and continue with: 7934 / 987

On to step 8:
If we divide 7934 by 987, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52538.0
Subtracting 7896 from 7934 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 987 fits into 380 0 times, leaving a remainder of 380.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52538.0
Deduct 0 from 380 and we're left with 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 3800 by 987, we get 3 with a remainder of 839.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52538.03
Deduct 2961 from 3800 and we're left with 839.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8390, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 8390 by 987, we get 8 and a remainder of 494.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52538.038
Subtract 7896 from 8390 to get 494.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
4940 divided by 987 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 52538.0385
Deduct 4935 from 4940 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 987 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52538.0385
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
987 can be fit into 500 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 500.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52538.0385
The remainder is 500 after subtracting 0 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 52538.0385, and the remainder is 5e-05.
