242993 ÷ 52 
Our goal is to divide 242993 by 52.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
52 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 208 away from 242, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 349 / 52

On to step 4:
52 can be fit into 349 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we take 312 away from 349, we end up with 37.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 379 / 52

Step 5:
When dividing 379 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 467.0
If we subtract 364 from 379, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 153 / 52

Advancing to step 6:
52 can be fit into 153 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4672.0
Subtracting 104 from 153 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
52 can be fit into 490 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4672.9
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 468 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4672.94
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4672.942
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.

Moving on to step 10:
52 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4672.9423
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 11:
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: 4672.9423
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 52, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4672.942307
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 52 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4672.9423076
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.

Advancing to step 14:
52 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4672.94230769
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4672.94230769 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
