Let's divide 265942 by 51
Our goal is to divide 265942 by 51.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 51

On to step 2:
The number 51 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 265 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 265 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 255 from 265 to get 10.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 109 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
109 divided by 51 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 102 from 109, we get 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 51

On to step 5:
51 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 521.0
Subtracting 51 from 74 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 232 by 51, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5214.0
Subtract 204 from 232 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 7:
51 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5214.5
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 8:
If we divide 250 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5214.54
If we take 204 away from 250, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 51 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5214.549
Deduct 459 from 460 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
51 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5214.549
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 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 11:
When dividing 100 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5214.54901
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.

On to step 12:
51 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5214.549019
If we take 459 away from 490, we end up 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 310 by 51, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5214.5490196
Subtracting 306 from 310 leaves us 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 14:
51 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5214.5490196
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5214.5490196 with a balance of 4e-08.
