We're dividing 208884 by 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 208884.

Step 1:
The number 52 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
52 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
52 can be fit into 208 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 208 from 208 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 8 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 52

Step 5:
52 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 401.0
Deduct 52 from 88 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 364 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
52 goes into 364 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4017.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 364 from 364.
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 7:
When dividing 0 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4017.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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:
52 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4017.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4017.0 with a balance of 0.0.
