We're dividing 147238 by 51 
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 147238.

Let's proceed to step 1:
51 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 51

Step 3:
The number 51 fits into 147 2 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 102 from 147 and we're left with 45.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 452 / 51

On to step 4:
51 can be fit into 452 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 408 away from 452, we end up with 44.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 443 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 51 fits into 443 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 408 from 443.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 51

On to step 6:
51 goes into 358 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2887.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 357 from 358.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
51 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2887.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
51 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2887.01
If we subtract 51 from 100, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 490 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2887.019
If we take 459 away from 490, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 10:
51 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2887.0196
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.

On to step 11:
The number 51 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2887.0196
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 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 12:
51 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2887.019607
Subtract 357 from 400 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
430 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2887.0196078
Deduct 408 from 430 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
51 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2887.01960784
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 204 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2887.01960784, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
