417988 ÷ 52 
We want to divide 417988 by 52.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 41, we get 41.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 417 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
52 goes into 417 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 416 from 417.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 52

On to step 4:
52 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
52 goes into 198 3 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 803.0
Subtracting 156 from 198 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 52

On to step 6:
52 goes into 428 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8038.0
If we subtract 416 from 428, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
52 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8038.2
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
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 8:
52 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8038.23
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 40 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8038.23
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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 10:
52 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8038.2307
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.

On to step 11:
360 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8038.23076
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
52 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8038.230769
If we subtract 468 from 480, we get 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 13:
52 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8038.2307692
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
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 14:
When dividing 160 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8038.23076923
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8038.23076923 and a remainder of 4e-09.
