Let's divide 248981 by 51
Our goal is to divide 248981 by 51.

Step 1:
51 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
24 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
51 can be fit into 248 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 204 from 248 to get 44.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 449 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
51 can be fit into 449 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 408 away from 449, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 418 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
51 goes into 418 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 488.0
If we take 408 away from 418, we end up with 10.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 101 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
51 can be fit into 101 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4881.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 51 from 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4881.9
If we subtract 459 from 500, we get 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 8:
The number 51 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4881.98
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.

Moving on to step 9:
51 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4881.98
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
51 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4881.9803
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 153 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 51 fits into 470 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4881.98039
Subtract 459 from 470 to get 11.
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 12:
If we divide 110 by 51, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4881.980392
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up 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 13:
When dividing 80 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4881.9803921
If we subtract 51 from 80, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
290 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4881.98039215
Subtracting 255 from 290 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4881.98039215, with a leftover of 3.5e-08.
