Let's divide 408961 by 52
Our goal is to divide 408961 by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 52

On to step 2:
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: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 408 / 52

On to step 3:
408 divided by 52 is 7 with a remainder of 44.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 364 from 408, we get 44.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 449 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
52 can be fit into 449 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
Deduct 416 from 449 and we're left with 33.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 336 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
52 can be fit into 336 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 786.0
If we subtract 312 from 336, we get 24.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 241 / 52

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 241 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 33.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7864.0
If we subtract 208 from 241, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
330 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7864.6
If we subtract 312 from 330, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
180 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7864.63
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7864.634
Deduct 208 from 240 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7864.6346
Subtract 312 from 320 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
80 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7864.63461
Subtract 52 from 80 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7864.634615
Subtract 260 from 280 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
200 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7864.6346153
Subtract 156 from 200 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 440 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7864.63461538
Subtracting 416 from 440 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7864.63461538 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
