We divide 51948 by 71
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 51948.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 71

Advancing to step 2:
The number 71 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 51 leaves us with 51.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 519 / 71

Step 3:
71 can be fit into 519 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 497 away from 519, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 71

Advancing to step 4:
71 goes into 224 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we take 213 away from 224, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 71

Let's proceed to step 5:
118 divided by 71 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 731.0
Subtracting 71 from 118 leaves us 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.

On to step 6:
71 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 731.6
Deduct 426 from 470 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 731.66
Subtract 426 from 440 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 731.66, and the remainder is 0.014.
