We look at the division of 874251 by 52 
We want to divide 874251 by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
52 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
52 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 52 from 87 and we're left with 35.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
52 goes into 354 6 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 312 from 354.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 422 / 52

On to step 4:
If we divide 422 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
Deduct 416 from 422 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
52 can be fit into 65 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1681.0
If we subtract 52 from 65, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 131 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 131 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16812.0
If we take 104 away from 131, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
52 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16812.5
If we subtract 260 from 270, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16812.51
Deduct 52 from 100 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
480 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16812.519
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16812.5192
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16812.51923
Subtract 156 from 160 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
40 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16812.51923
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16812.5192307
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 360 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16812.51923076
Deduct 312 from 360 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 16812.51923076 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
