438517 divided by 52 
We want to figure out the number of times 438517 can be divided by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
52 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 52

On to step 2:
52 can be fit into 43 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 43, we get 43.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 438 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
52 goes into 438 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 416 from 438 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 225 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 225 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we take 208 away from 225, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
171 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 843.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 156 from 171.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 52

On to step 6:
If we divide 157 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8433.0
If we take 156 away from 157, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
10 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8433.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8433.01
Subtract 52 from 100 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
52 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8433.019
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.

On to step 10:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8433.0192
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
160 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8433.01923
If we subtract 156 from 160, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8433.01923
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.

Step 13:
52 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8433.0192307
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.

Step 14:
360 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8433.01923076
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8433.01923076, with a leftover of 4.8e-08.
