Let's divide 184421 by 52
We want to divide 184421 by 52.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 184 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 156 from 184, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 284 / 52

Step 4:
When dividing 284 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 260 away from 284, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 242 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 354.0
Deduct 208 from 242 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 341 / 52

Step 6:
If we divide 341 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 29.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3546.0
Subtracting 312 from 341 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
52 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3546.5
Subtract 260 from 290 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3546.55
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 260 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 3546.55 with a remainder of 0.04.
