52642452 ÷ 462 
Our goal is to divide 52642452 by 462.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 462 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 462

Going ahead to step 2:
52 divided by 462 is 0 with a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 52 and we're left with 52.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 526 / 462

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 462 fits into 526 1 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 462 from 526, we get 64.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 644 / 462

On to step 4:
462 can be fit into 644 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 182.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 182 after subtracting 462 from 644.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 182 and continue with: 1822 / 462

Moving on to step 5:
462 goes into 1822 3 times with a remainder of 436.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113.0
Deduct 1386 from 1822 and we're left with 436.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 436 and continue with: 4364 / 462

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 4364 by 462, we get 9 and a remainder of 206.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1139.0
Subtracting 4158 from 4364 leaves us with 206.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 206, then carry on: 2065 / 462

Let's proceed to step 7:
462 can be fit into 2065 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 217.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11394.0
If we take 1848 away from 2065, we end up with 217.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 217, then carry on: 2172 / 462

Step 8:
The number 462 fits into 2172 4 times, leaving a remainder of 324.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113944.0
Subtract 1848 from 2172 to get 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 3240 by 462, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 113944.7
Subtract 3234 from 3240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 462, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 113944.7
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
600 divided by 462 is 1 with a remainder of 138.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113944.701
If we subtract 462 from 600, we get 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 462 fits into 1380 2 times, leaving a remainder of 456.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 113944.7012
If we subtract 924 from 1380, we get 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 4560 by 462, we get 9 with a remainder of 402.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113944.70129
The remainder is 402 after subtracting 4158 from 4560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4020, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
462 can be fit into 4020 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 324.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113944.701298
Subtracting 3696 from 4020 leaves us with 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
462 can be fit into 3240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113944.7012987
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 3234 from 3240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 16:
60 divided by 462 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 113944.7012987
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 113944.7012987 with a remainder of 6e-08.
