We look at the division of 742420 by 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 742420.

On to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 52 from 74 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 222 / 52

On to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 222 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 208 from 222, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 52

On to step 4:
52 can be fit into 144 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 104 from 144.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 402 / 52

Step 5:
52 goes into 402 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1427.0
Subtract 364 from 402 to get 38.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 380 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 380 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14277.0
If we subtract 364 from 380, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14277.3
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
52 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14277.3
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
52 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14277.307
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.

Moving on to step 10:
52 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14277.3076
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14277.30769
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.

Advancing to step 12:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14277.307692
Subtract 104 from 120 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
52 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14277.3076923
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.

Moving on to step 14:
52 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14277.3076923
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 14277.3076923 with a remaining 4e-08.
