We divide 280847 by 51
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 280847.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 51

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 280 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 255 from 280, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 258 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
51 can be fit into 258 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 255 from 258 to get 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 51

Step 5:
If we divide 34 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 550.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
51 goes into 347 6 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5506.0
Deduct 306 from 347 and we're left with 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 7:
If we divide 410 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5506.8
If we take 408 away from 410, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 5506.8
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
200 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5506.803
If we take 153 away from 200, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 470 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5506.8039
If we take 459 away from 470, we end up with 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 11:
51 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5506.80392
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5506.803921
Subtract 51 from 80 to 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 290 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5506.8039215
Deduct 255 from 290 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 350 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5506.80392156
Deduct 306 from 350 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 5506.80392156 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
