We're dividing 51378 by 27 
We want to divide 51378 by 27.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 27 from 51, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 243 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 243 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 243 from 243 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 27

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 190.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 27

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 78 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1902.0
If we take 54 away from 78, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
27 can be fit into 240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1902.8
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 27 fits into 240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1902.88
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1902.88, and the remainder is 0.024.
