We look at the division of 186531 by 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 186531.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
18 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 186 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
52 can be fit into 186 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 156 from 186 to get 30.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 305 / 52

Step 4:
305 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 260 away from 305, we end up with 45.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 453 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 can be fit into 453 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 358.0
Subtract 416 from 453 to get 37.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 371 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 371 by 52, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3587.0
If we subtract 364 from 371, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 52 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3587.1
Subtracting 52 from 70 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
52 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3587.13
Subtracting 156 from 180 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 240 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3587.134
Subtracting 208 from 240 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3587.1346
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 11:
52 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3587.13461
Deduct 52 from 80 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3587.134615
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.

Step 13:
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: 3587.1346153
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 52 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3587.13461538
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.

The quotient of the division is 3587.13461538, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
