Let's divide 252677 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 252677 can be divided by 52.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
25 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 52

On to step 3:
When dividing 252 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 208 from 252.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 446 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
52 goes into 446 8 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 416 from 446 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 307 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 307 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 47.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 485.0
Deduct 260 from 307 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 477 / 52

Advancing to step 6:
52 goes into 477 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4859.0
Subtract 468 from 477 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4859.1
If we take 52 away from 90, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4859.17
If we subtract 364 from 380, 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.

On to step 9:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4859.173
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4859.173
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4859.17307
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.

On to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4859.173076
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 52 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4859.1730769
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4859.17307692
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.

The final result is 4859.17307692 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
