We divide 140998 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 140998 can be divided by 52.

On to step 1:
52 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 52

On to step 3:
52 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 104 from 140, we get 36.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 369 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 369 by 52, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 364 from 369 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
59 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 271.0
Subtracting 52 from 59 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 78 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2711.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 52 from 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 52 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2711.5
If we subtract 260 from 260, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2711.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2711.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2711.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
