Let's divide 837457 by 51
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 837457.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 83 / 51

On to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 83 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 51 from 83 and we're left with 32.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 327 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 327 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 306 from 327 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 214 / 51

On to step 4:
If we divide 214 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 204 from 214.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 105 / 51

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 105 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1642.0
Subtract 102 from 105 to get 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
37 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16420.0
If we take 0 away from 37, 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.

On to step 7:
51 goes into 370 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16420.7
Subtract 357 from 370 to get 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 8:
If we divide 130 by 51, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16420.72
Deduct 102 from 130 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
280 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16420.725
Subtracting 255 from 280 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 51 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16420.7254
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 11:
51 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16420.72549
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 459 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
51 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16420.72549
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 51 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16420.7254901
If we take 51 away from 100, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
51 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16420.72549019
Subtract 459 from 490 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final result is 16420.72549019 with a remainder of 3.1e-08.
