We look at the division of 301172 by 51 
Let's see how many times 51 fits into 301172.

Step 1:
51 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 51

On to step 2:
30 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 301 / 51

On to step 3:
301 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 46.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 255 away from 301, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 461 / 51

On to step 4:
461 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 459 from 461 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
51 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 590.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 51

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 272 by 51, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5905.0
If we take 255 away from 272, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
170 divided by 51 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5905.3
Subtract 153 from 170 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 170 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5905.33
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 5905.33 with a balance of 0.017.
