261956 divided by 51 
We want to divide 261956 by 51.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 51

On to step 3:
When dividing 261 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 255 from 261, we get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
69 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 51 from 69, we get 18.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 185 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
51 goes into 185 3 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 513.0
If we take 153 away from 185, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 326 / 51

On to step 6:
The number 51 fits into 326 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5136.0
Subtracting 306 from 326 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
51 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5136.3
Subtracting 153 from 200 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 470 by 51, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5136.39
Subtract 459 from 470 to get 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 9:
The number 51 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5136.392
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 102 from 110.
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 10:
When dividing 80 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5136.3921
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 51 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 290 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5136.39215
Subtracting 255 from 290 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
350 divided by 51 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5136.392156
If we take 306 away from 350, we end up 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 13:
51 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5136.3921568
If we take 408 away from 440, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
320 divided by 51 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5136.39215686
Subtracting 306 from 320 leaves us with 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 5136.39215686, and the remainder is 1.4e-08.
