16873 divided by 52 
Our goal is to divide 16873 by 52.

Advancing to step 1:
52 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
16 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
52 goes into 168 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 156 away from 168, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 127 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 104 from 127, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 233 / 52

Step 5:
52 goes into 233 4 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324.0
Deduct 208 from 233 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 324.4
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 208 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 420 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 324.48
Subtract 416 from 420 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324.48
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.

On to step 9:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 324.4807
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.

Step 10:
52 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 324.48076
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
480 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324.480769
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 324.4807692
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:
160 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 324.48076923
If we subtract 156 from 160, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 324.48076923 and a remainder of 4e-09.
