Let's divide 20171 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 20171 can be divided by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
52 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 201 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
201 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 156 from 201, we get 45.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 457 / 52

Step 4:
If we divide 457 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 416 from 457 leaves us with 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 52

On to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 411 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 387.0
Subtracting 364 from 411 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
470 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 387.9
If we take 468 away from 470, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 387.9
Subtract 0 from 20 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 387.903
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 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 9:
If we divide 440 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 387.9038
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 387.90384
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
52 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 387.903846
If we subtract 312 from 320, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
52 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 387.9038461
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 52 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
52 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 387.90384615
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.

The final outcome is 387.90384615, with a leftover of 2e-08.
