141879 divided by 52 
We want to figure out the number of times 141879 can be divided by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 52

On to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 141 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 104 from 141 leaves us with 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
52 goes into 378 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 364 from 378, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 147 2 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272.0
If we subtract 104 from 147, we get 43.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 439 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 439 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2728.0
If we take 416 away from 439, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2728.4
Subtracting 208 from 230 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
220 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2728.44
Subtract 208 from 220 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.

Our division results in 2728.44 with a remaining 0.012.
