We divide 23986738 by 51
We want to divide 23986738 by 51.

Step 1:
2 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 51

On to step 2:
23 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 51

Advancing to step 3:
The number 51 fits into 239 4 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 204 from 239, we get 35.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 358 / 51

On to step 4:
When dividing 358 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtracting 357 from 358 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
16 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 470.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 51

On to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 167 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4703.0
If we subtract 153 from 167, we get 14.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 143 / 51

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 143 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 41.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47032.0
If we subtract 102 from 143, we get 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 51

Going ahead to step 8:
51 can be fit into 418 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 470328.0
Subtract 408 from 418 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 49.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 470328.1
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 51 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 490 by 51, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 470328.19
Subtracting 459 from 490 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 310 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 470328.196
If we take 306 away from 310, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 51 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 470328.196
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
400 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 470328.19607
Subtracting 357 from 400 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 430 by 51, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 470328.196078
If we take 408 away from 430, we end up 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.

On to step 15:
When dividing 220 by 51, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 470328.1960784
Subtracting 204 from 220 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 160 by 51, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 470328.19607843
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The final result is 470328.19607843 with a remainder of 7e-09.
