We look at the division of 273887 by 51 
We want to figure out the number of times 273887 can be divided by 51.

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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 273 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 51 fits into 273 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 255 away from 273, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 51

Advancing to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 188 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 153 from 188, we get 35.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 358 / 51

Step 5:
51 can be fit into 358 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 537.0
Deduct 357 from 358 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 51

On to step 6:
17 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5370.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
51 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5370.3
Subtracting 153 from 170 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 51 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5370.33
If we subtract 153 from 170, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5370.33 with a balance of 0.017.
