We're dividing 872377 by 51 
We're looking to find how many times 51 goes into 872377.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 51

Advancing to step 2:
87 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 51 away from 87, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 51

On to step 3:
51 goes into 362 7 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 357 from 362, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 51

On to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 53 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 51 from 53 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 51

Step 5:
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: 1710.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 51

Step 6:
When dividing 277 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17105.0
If we subtract 255 from 277, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 51 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17105.4
If we take 204 away from 220, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 51 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17105.43
Deduct 153 from 160 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 51 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17105.431
Subtracting 51 from 70 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 190 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17105.4313
Deduct 153 from 190 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 370 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17105.43137
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 357 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 130 by 51, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17105.431372
Subtract 102 from 130 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.

Moving on to step 13:
51 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17105.4313725
Deduct 255 from 280 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
51 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17105.43137254
Subtract 204 from 250 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17105.43137254 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
