Let's divide 147209 by 52
We want to divide 147209 by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 147 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
147 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 104 from 147.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 432 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 432 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 416 from 432.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 160 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 283.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 52

On to step 6:
If we divide 49 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2830.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 490 by 52, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2830.9
Deduct 468 from 490 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
52 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2830.94
If we subtract 208 from 220, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2830.942
Subtract 104 from 120 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2830.9423
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 2830.9423
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 12:
52 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2830.942307
Subtract 364 from 400 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 2830.9423076
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 52, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2830.94230769
Subtract 468 from 480 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2830.94230769 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
