Let's divide 280684 by 52
We want to divide 280684 by 52.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 52

Step 2:
52 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 280 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
280 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 260 away from 280, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 52

On to step 4:
If we divide 206 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 156 from 206 to get 50.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 508 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 508 by 52, we get 9 and a remainder of 40.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 539.0
Deduct 468 from 508 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 404 / 52

On to step 6:
52 can be fit into 404 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5397.0
Deduct 364 from 404 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5397.7
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 360 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5397.76
If we take 312 away from 360, we end up 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5397.769
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left 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:
If we divide 120 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5397.7692
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5397.76923
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5397.76923
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Step 13:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5397.7692307
If we take 364 away from 400, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
360 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5397.76923076
If we take 312 away from 360, we end up 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.

The final result is 5397.76923076 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
