We're dividing 305240 by 51 
Our goal is to divide 305240 by 51.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 51

Moving on to step 2:
51 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 305 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
305 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 255 away from 305, we end up with 50.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 502 / 51

Step 4:
51 can be fit into 502 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 459 from 502.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 434 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
434 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 598.0
Deduct 408 from 434 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5985.0
Subtracting 255 from 260 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
51 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5985.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5985.09
If we take 459 away from 500, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
51 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5985.098
Deduct 408 from 410 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
51 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5985.098
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
200 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5985.09803
Subtracting 153 from 200 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 470 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5985.098039
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 459 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
110 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5985.0980392
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
80 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5985.09803921
If we take 51 away from 80, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5985.09803921, and the remainder is 2.9e-08.
