We're dividing 162857 by 52 
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 162857.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 52

On to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 162 / 52

Step 3:
If we divide 162 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 156 away from 162, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
52 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 52 away from 68, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 165 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 165 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 313.0
Subtracting 156 from 165 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 52

Step 6:
52 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3131.0
Deduct 52 from 97 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 450 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3131.8
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 416 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3131.86
Subtract 312 from 340 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3131.865
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 260 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3131.8653
Subtract 156 from 200 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
52 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3131.86538
Deduct 416 from 440 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
52 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3131.865384
If we subtract 208 from 240, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3131.8653846
If we subtract 312 from 320, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 52 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3131.86538461
If we take 52 away from 80, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3131.86538461 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
