52472531 divided by 421 
We want to figure out the number of times 52472531 can be divided by 421.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 421 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 421

Going ahead to step 2:
421 can be fit into 52 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 52, we get 52.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 524 / 421

Advancing to step 3:
421 goes into 524 1 times with a remainder of 103.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 421 away from 524, we end up with 103.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 103 and continue with: 1037 / 421

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 1037 by 421, we get 2 with a remainder of 195.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 195 after subtracting 842 from 1037.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 195 and repeat the process: 1952 / 421

Advancing to step 5:
421 can be fit into 1952 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 268.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 124.0
Deduct 1684 from 1952 and we're left with 268.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 268 and continue with: 2685 / 421

Step 6:
421 can be fit into 2685 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1246.0
Subtracting 2526 from 2685 leaves us with 159.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 159 and repeat the process: 1593 / 421

Step 7:
1593 divided by 421 is 3 with a remainder of 330.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12463.0
If we subtract 1263 from 1593, we get 330.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 330, then carry on: 3301 / 421

Moving on to step 8:
421 can be fit into 3301 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 354.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124637.0
The remainder is 354 after subtracting 2947 from 3301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 3540 by 421, we get 8 with a remainder of 172.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124637.8
If we subtract 3368 from 3540, we get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 421 fits into 1720 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 124637.84
Subtracting 1684 from 1720 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 421, we get 0 with a remainder of 360.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124637.84
Subtracting 0 from 360 leaves us with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
421 can be fit into 3600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 232.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124637.8408
Deduct 3368 from 3600 and we're left with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 2320 by 421, we get 5 and a remainder of 215.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124637.84085
Subtract 2105 from 2320 to get 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
421 can be fit into 2150 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124637.840855
If we subtract 2105 from 2150, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Our division results in 124637.840855 with a remaining 4.5e-06.
