871896 ÷ 51 
We want to figure out the number of times 871896 can be divided by 51.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 51, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 51, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 51 from 87 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 51

Step 3:
When dividing 361 by 51, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 357 from 361.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 51

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 170.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 489 / 51

Moving on to step 5:
The number 51 fits into 489 9 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1709.0
Deduct 459 from 489 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 306 / 51

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 306 by 51, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17096.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 306 from 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17096.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

On to step 8:
51 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17096.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17096.0 with a balance of 0.0.
