We divide 242897 by 52
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 242897.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
52 goes into 242 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 208 from 242.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 348 / 52

On to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 348 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
Deduct 312 from 348 and we're left with 36.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 369 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
52 goes into 369 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 467.0
Subtracting 364 from 369 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 52

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 57 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4671.0
If we take 52 away from 57, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 50 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4671.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 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 8:
If we divide 500 by 52, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4671.09
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 468 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4671.096
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 10:
The number 52 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4671.0961
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 11:
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: 4671.09615
If we subtract 260 from 280, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
52 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4671.096153
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
440 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4671.0961538
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.

Moving on to step 14:
52 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4671.09615384
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.

The final result is 4671.09615384 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
