We look at the division of 864542 by 52 
Our goal is to divide 864542 by 52.

Advancing to step 1:
52 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
52 can be fit into 86 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 52 away from 86, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
52 can be fit into 344 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 312 from 344 to get 32.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 325 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
52 can be fit into 325 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 312 from 325.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 134 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
52 can be fit into 134 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1662.0
Subtracting 104 from 134 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 302 / 52

Step 6:
302 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16625.0
Subtracting 260 from 302 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 420 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16625.8
Deduct 416 from 420 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
52 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16625.8
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 52 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16625.807
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 364 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 52 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16625.8076
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
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 11:
52 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16625.80769
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16625.807692
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16625.8076923
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16625.8076923
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16625.8076923 with a remaining 4e-08.
