Let's divide 242456 by 52
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 242456.

Going ahead to step 1:
52 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
242 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 208 from 242 to get 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 344 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we take 312 away from 344, we end up with 32.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 325 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
52 goes into 325 6 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 466.0
Subtracting 312 from 325 leaves us with 13.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 136 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
136 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4662.0
Deduct 104 from 136 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4662.6
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 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 8:
80 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4662.61
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 52 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 280 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4662.615
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 10:
200 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4662.6153
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 52 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4662.61538
Subtracting 416 from 440 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
52 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4662.615384
If we subtract 208 from 240, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
52 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4662.6153846
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
52 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4662.61538461
Subtract 52 from 80 to 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.

Our division results in 4662.61538461 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
