We look at the division of 51697 by 25 
We want to divide 51697 by 25.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 25 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 25

Let's proceed to step 2:
25 can be fit into 51 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 50 from 51, we get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 25

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 16 by 25, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 25

On to step 4:
If we divide 169 by 25, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 206.0
Subtracting 150 from 169 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 25

Moving on to step 5:
25 goes into 197 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2067.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 175 from 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 220 by 25, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2067.8
Subtract 200 from 220 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
25 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2067.88
If we subtract 200 from 200, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2067.88 with a remaining 0.0.
