Let's divide 601720 by 51
Our goal is to divide 601720 by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
51 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 51 from 60 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 51

On to step 3:
When dividing 91 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 51 away from 91, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
51 can be fit into 407 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 357 from 407.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 502 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 502 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1179.0
If we take 459 away from 502, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 430 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
430 divided by 51 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11798.0
Deduct 408 from 430 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
220 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11798.4
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 204 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
160 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11798.43
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 70 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11798.431
Subtract 51 from 70 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
51 goes into 190 3 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11798.4313
If we subtract 153 from 190, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 370 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11798.43137
If we subtract 357 from 370, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11798.431372
Subtract 102 from 130 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 280 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11798.4313725
Subtract 255 from 280 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11798.43137254
Subtracting 204 from 250 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11798.43137254, with a leftover of 4.6e-08.
