We're dividing 51610220 by 972 
We want to divide 51610220 by 972.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 972 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
972 can be fit into 51 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 51 and we're left with 51.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 516 / 972

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 516 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 516.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 516 leaves us with 516.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 516, then carry on: 5161 / 972

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 972 fits into 5161 5 times, leaving a remainder of 301.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 4860 from 5161 and we're left with 301.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 301 and continue with: 3010 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
3010 divided by 972 is 3 with a remainder of 94.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 2916 from 3010 leaves us with 94.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 94, then repeat: 942 / 972

Going ahead to step 6:
972 goes into 942 0 times with a remainder of 942.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 530.0
Subtracting 0 from 942 leaves us with 942.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 942, then carry on: 9422 / 972

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 972 fits into 9422 9 times, leaving a remainder of 674.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5309.0
If we take 8748 away from 9422, we end up with 674.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 674, then repeat: 6740 / 972

On to step 8:
If we divide 6740 by 972, we get 6 and a remainder of 908.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53096.0
Deduct 5832 from 6740 and we're left with 908.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
972 can be fit into 9080 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 332.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53096.9
Subtracting 8748 from 9080 leaves us with 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 3320 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 404.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53096.93
If we take 2916 away from 3320, we end up with 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 4040 by 972, we get 4 with a remainder of 152.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53096.934
If we subtract 3888 from 4040, we get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 1520 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 548.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53096.9341
Subtract 972 from 1520 to get 548.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5480, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
972 can be fit into 5480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 620.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53096.93415
Subtracting 4860 from 5480 leaves us with 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
972 goes into 6200 6 times with a remainder of 368.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53096.934156
If we take 5832 away from 6200, we end up with 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
972 can be fit into 3680 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 764.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53096.9341563
Deduct 2916 from 3680 and we're left with 764.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7640, and continue the process.

Step 16:
When dividing 7640 by 972, we get 7 with a remainder of 836.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53096.93415637
If we take 6804 away from 7640, we end up with 836.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 53096.93415637 with a balance of 8.36e-07.
