52881776 ÷ 3 
Our goal is to divide 52881776 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 3 from 5 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 3

Step 2:
The number 3 fits into 22 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 21 from 22 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 18 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1762.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 21 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17627.0
Subtracting 21 from 21 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 3

On to step 6:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176272.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

On to step 7:
17 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1762725.0
If we take 15 away from 17, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 3

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 26 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17627258.0
Subtract 24 from 26 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17627258.6
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17627258.66
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 17627258.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
