We're dividing 51987371 by 924 
We're looking to find how many times 924 goes into 51987371.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 924 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 924

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 924, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 519 / 924

On to step 3:
924 can be fit into 519 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 519.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 519 to get 519.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 519 and continue: 5198 / 924

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 5198 by 924, we get 5 with a remainder of 578.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4620 from 5198 leaves us with 578.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 578 and continue with: 5787 / 924

Step 5:
When dividing 5787 by 924, we get 6 with a remainder of 243.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 5544 from 5787 and we're left with 243.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 243 and repeat the process: 2433 / 924

Advancing to step 6:
The number 924 fits into 2433 2 times, leaving a remainder of 585.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 562.0
The remainder is 585 after subtracting 1848 from 2433.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 585 and continue: 5857 / 924

On to step 7:
924 can be fit into 5857 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 313.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5626.0
If we take 5544 away from 5857, we end up with 313.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 313, then repeat: 3131 / 924

Step 8:
924 goes into 3131 3 times with a remainder of 359.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56263.0
The remainder is 359 after subtracting 2772 from 3131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 924 fits into 3590 3 times, leaving a remainder of 818.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56263.3
Subtract 2772 from 3590 to get 818.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
924 goes into 8180 8 times with a remainder of 788.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56263.38
The remainder is 788 after subtracting 7392 from 8180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7880, and continue the process.

Step 11:
7880 divided by 924 is 8 with a remainder of 488.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56263.388
Subtracting 7392 from 7880 leaves us with 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 56263.388 with a balance of 0.0488.
