We look at the division of 996157 by 51 
We want to figure out the number of times 996157 can be divided by 51.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
99 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 51 from 99 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 486 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
486 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 459 from 486 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 51

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 271 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 16.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 195.0
Subtract 255 from 271 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 165 / 51

Advancing to step 5:
165 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1953.0
Subtracting 153 from 165 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 127 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19532.0
Deduct 102 from 127 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19532.4
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.

Step 8:
The number 51 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19532.49
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 10 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19532.49
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 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 10:
When dividing 100 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 49.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19532.4901
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 51 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 51 fits into 490 9 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19532.49019
Deduct 459 from 490 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
51 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19532.490196
Subtract 306 from 310 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 40 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19532.490196
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 400 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19532.49019607
Deduct 357 from 400 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Our division results in 19532.49019607 with a remaining 4.3e-08.
