We're dividing 252858 by 52 
We want to divide 252858 by 52.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 252 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
252 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 208 from 252.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 448 / 52

On to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 448 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 416 away from 448, we end up with 32.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 325 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 can be fit into 325 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 486.0
If we take 312 away from 325, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 52

On to step 6:
52 can be fit into 138 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4862.0
Deduct 104 from 138 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 340 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4862.6
If we subtract 312 from 340, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
280 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4862.65
Subtract 260 from 280 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4862.653
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
52 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4862.6538
Subtract 416 from 440 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 52 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4862.65384
If we take 208 away from 240, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
52 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4862.653846
If we subtract 312 from 320, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4862.6538461
If we subtract 52 from 80, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
52 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4862.65384615
Subtract 260 from 280 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 4862.65384615 with a remainder of 2e-08.
