We're dividing 158523 by 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 158523.

Step 1:
52 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 52

On to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
52 goes into 158 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 156 from 158 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
52 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 252 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
252 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 304.0
Subtract 208 from 252 to get 44.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 443 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 443 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3048.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 416 from 443.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 270 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3048.5
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3048.51
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.

Moving on to step 9:
52 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3048.519
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3048.5192
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3048.51923
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.

Advancing to step 12:
52 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3048.51923
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3048.5192307
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 14:
If we divide 360 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3048.51923076
Deduct 312 from 360 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3048.51923076 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
