Let's divide 78700 by 51
We want to divide 78700 by 51.

Moving on to step 1:
51 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 51

Step 2:
When dividing 78 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 51 from 78, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 277 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
277 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 255 from 277.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 220 / 51

On to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 154.0
If we take 204 away from 220, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 160 / 51

Moving on to step 5:
51 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1543.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
70 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1543.1
Deduct 51 from 70 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
51 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1543.13
Subtract 153 from 190 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 370 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1543.137
Subtracting 357 from 370 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 9:
130 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1543.1372
If we subtract 102 from 130, we 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 280 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1543.13725
Subtract 255 from 280 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 250 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1543.137254
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.

Advancing to step 12:
460 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1543.1372549
Subtract 459 from 460 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 10 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1543.1372549
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1543.1372549 with a remaining 1e-08.
