We're dividing 51271828 by 729 
Our goal is to divide 51271828 by 729.

Step 1:
5 divided by 729 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 729

Going ahead to step 2:
729 can be fit into 51 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 512 / 729

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 512 by 729, we get 0 and a remainder of 512.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 512 leaves us with 512.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 512, then carry on: 5127 / 729

Step 4:
The number 729 fits into 5127 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 5103 from 5127, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 241 / 729

On to step 5:
729 goes into 241 0 times with a remainder of 241.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we subtract 0 from 241, we get 241.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 241, then repeat: 2418 / 729

On to step 6:
2418 divided by 729 is 3 with a remainder of 231.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 703.0
If we subtract 2187 from 2418, we get 231.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 231 and continue: 2312 / 729

Step 7:
729 can be fit into 2312 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 125.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7033.0
Subtract 2187 from 2312 to get 125.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 125 and repeat the process: 1258 / 729

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1258 by 729, we get 1 and a remainder of 529.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70331.0
Subtract 729 from 1258 to get 529.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
5290 divided by 729 is 7 with a remainder of 187.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 70331.7
If we subtract 5103 from 5290, we get 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
729 goes into 1870 2 times with a remainder of 412.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70331.72
Subtract 1458 from 1870 to get 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
729 can be fit into 4120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 475.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 70331.725
Subtract 3645 from 4120 to get 475.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4750, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 4750 by 729, we get 6 with a remainder of 376.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 70331.7256
Subtracting 4374 from 4750 leaves us with 376.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
729 goes into 3760 5 times with a remainder of 115.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70331.72565
The remainder is 115 after subtracting 3645 from 3760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
729 can be fit into 1150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 421.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70331.725651
If we take 729 away from 1150, we end up with 421.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4210, and continue the process.

Step 15:
729 goes into 4210 5 times with a remainder of 565.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70331.7256515
Subtracting 3645 from 4210 leaves us with 565.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5650, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 5650 by 729, we get 7 and a remainder of 547.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 70331.72565157
If we take 5103 away from 5650, we end up with 547.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5470, and continue the process.

Our division results in 70331.72565157 with a remaining 5.47e-07.
