We look at the division of 406979 by 52 
Our goal is to divide 406979 by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
52 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 52

Step 2:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 406 / 52

On to step 3:
If we divide 406 by 52, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 364 from 406 leaves us with 42.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 429 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
52 can be fit into 429 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78.0
Subtract 416 from 429 to get 13.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 137 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 782.0
If we take 104 away from 137, we end up with 33.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 339 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 339 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7826.0
If we take 312 away from 339, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
52 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7826.5
If we subtract 260 from 270, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 52 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7826.51
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 52 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7826.519
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7826.5192
If we subtract 104 from 120, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 52 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7826.51923
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us 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 12:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7826.51923
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 52, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7826.5192307
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7826.51923076
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.

After the division, we end up with 7826.51923076 and a remainder of 4.8e-08.
