We're dividing 279699 by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 279699.

Moving on to step 1:
51 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 51

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 279 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 255 from 279, we get 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 51

Step 4:
When dividing 246 by 51, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 204 from 246 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 429 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 429 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtracting 408 from 429 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 51

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5484.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 204 from 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5484.2
Deduct 102 from 150 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 480 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5484.29
Subtracting 459 from 480 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 210 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5484.294
Subtracting 204 from 210 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 60 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5484.2941
Subtracting 51 from 60 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 90 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5484.29411
Subtracting 51 from 90 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5484.29411 and a remainder of 3.9e-05.
