We're dividing 231676 by 52 
Our goal is to divide 231676 by 52.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 52

On to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 52

On to step 3:
52 can be fit into 231 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 208 from 231.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 236 / 52

On to step 4:
52 goes into 236 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 208 from 236.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
287 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 27.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 445.0
Deduct 260 from 287 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 276 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 276 5 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4455.0
If we subtract 260 from 276, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4455.3
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4455.3
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4455.307
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 364 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
52 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4455.3076
Subtract 312 from 360 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
52 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4455.30769
If we subtract 468 from 480, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4455.307692
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 160 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4455.3076923
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4455.3076923
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4455.3076923 with a remaining 4e-08.
