255852 ÷ 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 255852.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 255 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 255 4 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 208 from 255 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 52

Step 4:
52 goes into 478 9 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 468 away from 478, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 105 / 52

Step 5:
When dividing 105 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 492.0
Subtracting 104 from 105 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 12 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4920.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4920.2
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4920.23
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4920.23
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4920.2307
Subtract 364 from 400 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
52 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4920.23076
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4920.230769
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4920.2307692
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
160 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4920.23076923
Subtract 156 from 160 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.

The final result is 4920.23076923 with a remainder of 4e-09.
