Let's divide 311604 by 52
We want to divide 311604 by 52.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 52

Step 2:
52 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 311 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
311 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 260 away from 311, we end up with 51.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 516 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 516 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 48.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 468 from 516.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 480 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 599.0
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 52

Step 6:
124 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5992.0
If we take 104 away from 124, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5992.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5992.38
If we take 416 away from 440, we end up 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.

Step 9:
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: 5992.384
Deduct 208 from 240 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 52 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5992.3846
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 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 11:
If we divide 80 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5992.38461
Deduct 52 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5992.384615
Subtract 260 from 280 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5992.3846153
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 440 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5992.38461538
If we take 416 away from 440, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 5992.38461538, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
