We're dividing 874904 by 52 
We want to figure out the number of times 874904 can be divided by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
52 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
52 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 52 from 87.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 354 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 312 from 354, we get 42.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 429 / 52

Step 4:
52 can be fit into 429 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168.0
Deduct 416 from 429 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 130 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
52 can be fit into 130 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1682.0
Subtracting 104 from 130 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 264 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
52 goes into 264 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16825.0
Subtract 260 from 264 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.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16825.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
400 divided by 52 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16825.07
If we subtract 364 from 400, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16825.076
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.

Step 10:
52 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16825.0769
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16825.07692
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 12:
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: 16825.076923
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16825.076923
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16825.07692307
If we take 364 away from 400, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16825.07692307 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
