Let's divide 272257 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 272257 can be divided by 52.

Advancing to step 1:
52 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 52

Moving on to step 2:
52 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 52

Step 3:
52 can be fit into 272 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 260 from 272 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 122 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 122 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtracting 104 from 122 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 185 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 523.0
If we subtract 156 from 185, we get 29.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 297 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 297 5 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5235.0
Subtract 260 from 297 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
370 divided by 52 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5235.7
If we take 364 away from 370, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
60 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5235.71
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 52 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5235.711
If we take 52 away from 80, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 5235.711 with a remainder of 0.0028.
