185983 divided by 52 
We want to figure out the number of times 185983 can be divided by 52.

Advancing to step 1:
52 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 185 / 52

On to step 3:
When dividing 185 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 156 from 185 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 52

Advancing to step 4:
52 goes into 299 5 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 260 from 299 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 398 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
52 can be fit into 398 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 357.0
If we take 364 away from 398, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 343 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
52 goes into 343 6 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3576.0
Deduct 312 from 343 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3576.5
Subtracting 260 from 310 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
52 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3576.59
Subtract 468 from 500 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3576.596
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us 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 10:
52 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3576.5961
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 52 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3576.59615
Deduct 260 from 280 and we're left 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 12:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3576.596153
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
52 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3576.5961538
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 416 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 52 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3576.59615384
If we take 208 away from 240, we end up 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.

Our division results in 3576.59615384 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
