Let's divide 833917 by 51
We want to divide 833917 by 51.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 51

Moving on to step 2:
83 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 51 away from 83, we end up with 32.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 323 / 51

Step 3:
If we divide 323 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 306 from 323 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 51

On to step 4:
When dividing 179 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 163.0
If we subtract 153 from 179, we get 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
The number 51 fits into 261 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1635.0
Deduct 255 from 261 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
51 can be fit into 67 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16351.0
Subtract 51 from 67 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16351.3
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 70 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16351.31
If we take 51 away from 70, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
The number 51 fits into 190 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16351.313
If we take 153 away from 190, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 51 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16351.3137
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 11:
51 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16351.31372
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 102 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16351.313725
If we subtract 255 from 280, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 250 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16351.3137254
If we subtract 204 from 250, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16351.31372549
If we take 459 away from 460, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 16351.31372549 with a remainder of 1e-09.
