823421 ÷ 52 
We want to divide 823421 by 52.

On to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 52

Step 2:
If we divide 82 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 52 from 82, we get 30.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 303 / 52

Step 3:
52 goes into 303 5 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 260 away from 303, we end up with 43.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 434 / 52

Step 4:
The number 52 fits into 434 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 158.0
If we take 416 away from 434, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 182 / 52

On to step 5:
182 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1583.0
Deduct 156 from 182 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 261 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15835.0
If we take 260 away from 261, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15835.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15835.01
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 52 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
52 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15835.019
Subtract 468 from 480 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15835.0192
Subtract 104 from 120 to 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.

Step 11:
160 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15835.01923
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15835.01923
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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 13:
52 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15835.0192307
Deduct 364 from 400 and we're left with 36.
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 14:
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: 15835.01923076
Subtracting 312 from 360 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15835.01923076 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
