Let's divide 217764 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 217764 can be divided by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
52 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 52

Step 2:
The number 52 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
52 goes into 217 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 208 from 217 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 52

On to step 4:
97 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 52 from 97 to get 45.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 456 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
456 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 418.0
If we subtract 416 from 456, we get 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 52

Step 6:
52 goes into 404 7 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4187.0
Deduct 364 from 404 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4187.7
Deduct 364 from 400 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4187.76
Subtracting 312 from 360 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
52 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4187.769
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
52 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4187.7692
Subtract 104 from 120 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
160 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4187.76923
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
52 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4187.76923
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.

Moving on to step 13:
52 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4187.7692307
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 364 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4187.76923076
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4187.76923076 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
