179242 ÷ 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 179242.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
52 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 52

On to step 3:
If we divide 179 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 156 away from 179, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 52

Advancing to step 4:
232 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 208 from 232 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 244 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 344.0
Subtract 208 from 244 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 362 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 50.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3446.0
If we subtract 312 from 362, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
52 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3446.9
If we take 468 away from 500, 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 8:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3446.96
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.

Step 9:
The number 52 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3446.961
Subtracting 52 from 80 leaves us with 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 10:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3446.9615
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3446.96153
Subtract 156 from 200 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 12:
440 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3446.961538
If we subtract 416 from 440, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
240 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3446.9615384
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 208 from 240.
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 14:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3446.96153846
Subtract 312 from 320 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 3446.96153846 and a remainder of 8e-09.
