We divide 872721 by 52
We want to divide 872721 by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
52 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 52 from 87.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 352 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 352 6 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 312 from 352 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 407 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
If we take 364 away from 407, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 432 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 432 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1678.0
Subtract 416 from 432 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 52

Step 6:
The number 52 fits into 161 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16783.0
Subtract 156 from 161 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16783.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
52 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16783.09
If we subtract 468 from 500, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
52 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16783.096
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 52 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16783.0961
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16783.09615
If we subtract 260 from 280, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16783.096153
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.

Moving on to step 13:
440 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16783.0961538
Subtracting 416 from 440 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 52 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16783.09615384
If we subtract 208 from 240, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16783.09615384 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
