We look at the division of 897871 by 51 
We want to divide 897871 by 51.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 51 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 51

Moving on to step 2:
89 divided by 51 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 51 from 89 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 387 / 51

Advancing to step 3:
51 goes into 387 7 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 357 from 387 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 51

On to step 4:
The number 51 fits into 308 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
Deduct 306 from 308 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
51 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1760.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 51

On to step 6:
271 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17605.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 255 from 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 51, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17605.3
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.

Step 8:
51 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17605.31
If we subtract 51 from 70, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
51 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17605.313
If we subtract 153 from 190, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 370 by 51, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17605.3137
Subtract 357 from 370 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 11:
51 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17605.31372
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 102 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
51 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17605.313725
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
250 divided by 51 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17605.3137254
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 204 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
460 divided by 51 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17605.31372549
Subtract 459 from 460 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17605.31372549 and a remainder of 1e-09.
