852 can be fit into 4096 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 688.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 688 after subtracting 3408 from 4096.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 688 and continue with: 6888 / 852

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 852 fits into 6888 8 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 6816 from 6888 and we're left with 72.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 722 / 852

On to step 6:
The number 852 fits into 722 0 times, leaving a remainder of 722.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 480.0
If we subtract 0 from 722, we get 722.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 722, then carry on: 7223 / 852

Moving on to step 7:
852 can be fit into 7223 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 407.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4808.0
Subtract 6816 from 7223 to get 407.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 407, then carry on: 4078 / 852

Step 8:
If we divide 4078 by 852, we get 4 and a remainder of 670.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48084.0
Subtract 3408 from 4078 to get 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6700, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 852 fits into 6700 7 times, leaving a remainder of 736.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48084.7
If we take 5964 away from 6700, we end up with 736.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 7360 by 852, we get 8 and a remainder of 544.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48084.78
Deduct 6816 from 7360 and we're left with 544.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 852 fits into 5440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 328.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48084.786
If we subtract 5112 from 5440, we get 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
3280 divided by 852 is 3 with a remainder of 724.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48084.7863
If we take 2556 away from 3280, we end up with 724.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
852 can be fit into 7240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 424.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48084.78638
Subtract 6816 from 7240 to get 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
852 can be fit into 4240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 832.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48084.786384
Subtracting 3408 from 4240 leaves us with 832.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 8320 by 852, we get 9 with a remainder of 652.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48084.7863849
Subtract 7668 from 8320 to get 652.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
6520 divided by 852 is 7 with a remainder of 556.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48084.78638497
The remainder is 556 after subtracting 5964 from 6520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5560, and continue the process.

The final result is 48084.78638497 with a remainder of 5.56e-07.
