Let's divide 278222 by 52
Our goal is to divide 278222 by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
52 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 52

Step 2:
52 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
52 goes into 278 5 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 260 away from 278, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 52

Advancing to step 4:
52 goes into 182 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 156 away from 182, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 262 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 goes into 262 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 535.0
If we subtract 260 from 262, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
52 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5350.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
220 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5350.4
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5350.42
Subtract 104 from 120 to get 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 9:
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: 5350.423
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5350.423
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5350.42307
If we take 364 away from 400, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
360 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5350.423076
Deduct 312 from 360 and we're left with 48.
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 13:
The number 52 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5350.4230769
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
52 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5350.42307692
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.

Our division results in 5350.42307692 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
