Let's divide 126931 by 52
We want to divide 126931 by 52.

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
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 52

Step 2:
The number 52 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 126 / 52

On to step 3:
If we divide 126 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 104 from 126 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 52

Step 4:
52 can be fit into 229 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 208 from 229 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 213 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 213 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 244.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 208 from 213.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2440.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 510 9 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2440.9
Subtract 468 from 510 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2440.98
If we subtract 416 from 420, we get 4.
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 9:
52 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2440.98
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.

On to step 10:
52 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2440.9807
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 11:
52 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2440.98076
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.

On to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2440.980769
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.

On to step 13:
52 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2440.9807692
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2440.98076923
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2440.98076923 with a remaining 4e-09.
