Let's divide 218289 by 52
Our goal is to divide 218289 by 52.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 52

Step 2:
52 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
52 can be fit into 218 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 208 from 218, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 52

On to step 4:
52 goes into 102 1 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 52 from 102 to get 50.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 508 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 508 by 52, we get 9 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 419.0
If we subtract 468 from 508, we get 40.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 409 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 409 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 45.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4197.0
Subtracting 364 from 409 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 450 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4197.8
Subtracting 416 from 450 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
52 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4197.86
If we subtract 312 from 340, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
280 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4197.865
If we subtract 260 from 280, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4197.8653
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4197.86538
Subtracting 416 from 440 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
52 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4197.865384
If we take 208 away from 240, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
320 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4197.8653846
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
52 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4197.86538461
Subtracting 52 from 80 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4197.86538461 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
