Let's divide 175878 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 175878 can be divided by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
52 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 175 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 156 from 175 to get 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
52 goes into 198 3 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 156 from 198.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
427 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 338.0
Subtract 416 from 427 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
118 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3382.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 104 from 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
52 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3382.2
Deduct 104 from 140 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
360 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3382.26
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
52 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3382.269
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
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 10:
If we divide 120 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3382.2692
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 52 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3382.26923
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3382.26923
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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 13:
When dividing 400 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3382.2692307
Deduct 364 from 400 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
52 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3382.26923076
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3382.26923076 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
