We divide 171992 by 52
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 171992.

On to step 1:
52 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
52 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 171 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 171 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 156 from 171 to get 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
159 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtract 156 from 159 to get 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 39 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 330.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 392 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
52 can be fit into 392 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3307.0
Subtract 364 from 392 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.

On to step 7:
280 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3307.5
If we take 260 away from 280, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
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: 3307.53
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us 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 9:
If we divide 440 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3307.538
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3307.5384
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.

Advancing to step 11:
52 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3307.53846
Deduct 312 from 320 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
52 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3307.538461
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.

Step 13:
The number 52 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3307.5384615
Subtracting 260 from 280 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 3307.53846153
If we subtract 156 from 200, we 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.

The final result is 3307.53846153 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
