We're dividing 222971 by 51 
Our goal is to divide 222971 by 51.

Going ahead to step 1:
51 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
51 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 222 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 204 from 222, we get 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 51

Step 4:
51 goes into 189 3 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtract 153 from 189 to get 36.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 367 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 367 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 437.0
Deduct 357 from 367 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 101 1 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4371.0
Subtracting 51 from 101 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
500 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4371.9
Deduct 459 from 500 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 410 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4371.98
Subtract 408 from 410 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.

Moving on to step 9:
20 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4371.98
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
51 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4371.9803
Subtract 153 from 200 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 11:
51 goes into 470 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4371.98039
Subtracting 459 from 470 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
51 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4371.980392
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 102 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
51 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4371.9803921
Subtract 51 from 80 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
290 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4371.98039215
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 255 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4371.98039215 and a remainder of 3.5e-08.
