158500 ÷ 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 158500.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 52

Step 2:
When dividing 15 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 158 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 156 from 158 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 52

Step 4:
52 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 250 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 304.0
If we subtract 208 from 250, we get 42.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 420 / 52

Step 6:
If we divide 420 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3048.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 416 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3048.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
52 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3048.07
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3048.076
Deduct 312 from 360 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3048.0769
Subtract 468 from 480 to get 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:
52 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3048.07692
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 160 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3048.076923
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3048.076923
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.

Moving on to step 14:
400 divided by 52 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3048.07692307
Subtracting 364 from 400 leaves us 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.

The final result is 3048.07692307 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
