We're dividing 856952 by 52 
Our goal is to divide 856952 by 52.

Step 1:
52 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 52

Step 2:
The number 52 fits into 85 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 52 from 85 to get 33.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 336 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
336 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 312 from 336.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 52

Advancing to step 4:
52 goes into 249 4 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we take 208 away from 249, we end up with 41.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 415 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 415 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1647.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 364 from 415.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 512 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 512 9 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16479.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 468 from 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
440 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16479.8
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 416 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16479.84
Deduct 208 from 240 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 52 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16479.846
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16479.8461
If we take 52 away from 80, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
52 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16479.84615
If we take 260 away from 280, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16479.846153
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 440 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16479.8461538
If we subtract 416 from 440, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16479.84615384
Deduct 208 from 240 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16479.84615384 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
