42896 ÷ 52 
We want to figure out the number of times 42896 can be divided by 52.

Step 1:
4 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 52

On to step 2:
52 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
52 goes into 428 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 416 from 428 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 129 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 104 from 129.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 can be fit into 256 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 824.0
Subtracting 208 from 256 leaves us 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.

Step 6:
52 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 824.9
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 824.92
Subtract 104 from 120 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
160 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 824.923
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 824.923
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
400 divided by 52 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 824.92307
If we subtract 364 from 400, 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.

On to step 11:
52 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 824.923076
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 824.9230769
If we subtract 468 from 480, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 52 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 824.92307692
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 824.92307692 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
