872876 ÷ 51 
We want to divide 872876 by 51.

On to step 1:
51 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 51

Going ahead to step 2:
51 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 51 away from 87, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 362 / 51

Going ahead to step 3:
362 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 357 from 362 to get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 51

Moving on to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 51 from 58 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 51

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 77 by 51, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1711.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 51 from 77.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 51

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 266 by 51, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17115.0
Subtract 255 from 266 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 51, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17115.2
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.

Moving on to step 8:
51 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17115.21
If we take 51 away from 80, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
290 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17115.215
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 255 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17115.2156
Subtract 306 from 350 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 51 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17115.21568
Subtract 408 from 440 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
51 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17115.215686
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 306 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 51 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17115.2156862
If we subtract 102 from 140, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 51 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17115.21568627
Subtract 357 from 380 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17115.21568627 with a balance of 2.3e-08.
