We're dividing 251018 by 52 
We want to divide 251018 by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
52 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 52

Step 2:
If we divide 25 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 251 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 251 4 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 208 from 251.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 430 / 52

Advancing to step 4:
52 can be fit into 430 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 416 from 430, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 141 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 482.0
Deduct 104 from 141 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 378 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4827.0
If we subtract 364 from 378, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4827.2
If we subtract 104 from 140, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
52 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4827.26
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
52 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4827.269
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4827.2692
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left with 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:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4827.26923
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:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4827.26923
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
400 divided by 52 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4827.2692307
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 364 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4827.26923076
Subtract 312 from 360 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 4827.26923076 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
