We're dividing 16551 by 52 
We want to divide 16551 by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
52 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 165 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 156 from 165 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 52

Step 4:
52 can be fit into 95 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 52 from 95 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 431 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 431 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 318.0
Subtract 416 from 431 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 150 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 318.2
If we subtract 104 from 150, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
52 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 318.28
Deduct 416 from 460 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 8:
52 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 318.288
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.

Our division results in 318.288 with a remaining 0.0024.
