We look at the division of 279599 by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 279599.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
279 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 255 from 279 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 245 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
51 goes into 245 4 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 204 from 245.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 51

On to step 5:
419 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 548.0
If we take 408 away from 419, we end up with 11.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 119 by 51, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5482.0
If we take 102 away from 119, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
51 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5482.3
If we subtract 153 from 170, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 51 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5482.33
Deduct 153 from 170 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5482.33 and a remainder of 0.017.
