We divide 257326 by 52
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 257326.

On to step 1:
52 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 257 4 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 208 from 257.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 493 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 493 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 468 from 493, we get 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
252 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 494.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 208 from 252.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 446 / 52

On to step 6:
If we divide 446 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4948.0
Subtracting 416 from 446 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4948.5
Subtract 260 from 300 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
52 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4948.57
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4948.576
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 10:
The number 52 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4948.5769
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 120 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4948.57692
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4948.576923
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4948.576923
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
52 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4948.57692307
If we subtract 364 from 400, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4948.57692307, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
