279019 ÷ 51 
We want to divide 279019 by 51.

Step 1:
2 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 51

On to step 3:
If we divide 279 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 255 away from 279, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 240 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 204 from 240 to get 36.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 361 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
51 goes into 361 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 547.0
Deduct 357 from 361 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 49 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5470.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
51 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5470.9
Subtract 459 from 490 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
51 goes into 310 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5470.96
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 306 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5470.96
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
400 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5470.9607
Deduct 357 from 400 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 430 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5470.96078
If we subtract 408 from 430, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5470.960784
Deduct 204 from 220 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
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: 5470.9607843
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.

On to step 14:
51 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5470.96078431
If we subtract 51 from 70, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5470.96078431 and a remainder of 1.9e-08.
