279604 divided by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 279604.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 51

Step 2:
The number 51 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
51 can be fit into 279 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 255 from 279 to get 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
246 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 204 from 246, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 420 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
51 can be fit into 420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 548.0
If we subtract 408 from 420, we get 12.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 124 / 51

On to step 6:
If we divide 124 by 51, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5482.0
Subtracting 102 from 124 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 220 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5482.4
Subtracting 204 from 220 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 51, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5482.43
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 70 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5482.431
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 51 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 10:
51 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5482.4313
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 153 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 11:
51 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5482.43137
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 357 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 130 by 51, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5482.431372
Subtract 102 from 130 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5482.4313725
If we take 255 away from 280, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
51 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5482.43137254
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 204 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5482.43137254, and the remainder is 4.6e-08.
