We look at the division of 52687448 by 218 
We want to figure out the number of times 52687448 can be divided by 218.

Let's proceed to step 1:
218 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 218

Step 2:
218 can be fit into 52 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 526 / 218

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 526 by 218, we get 2 and a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 436 away from 526, we end up with 90.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 90 and continue: 908 / 218

Let's proceed to step 4:
218 goes into 908 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 872 away from 908, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 367 / 218

Let's proceed to step 5:
367 divided by 218 is 1 with a remainder of 149.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 241.0
If we subtract 218 from 367, we get 149.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 149 and continue with: 1494 / 218

Step 6:
1494 divided by 218 is 6 with a remainder of 186.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2416.0
Subtract 1308 from 1494 to get 186.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 186, then carry on: 1864 / 218

Let's proceed to step 7:
218 goes into 1864 8 times with a remainder of 120.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24168.0
Subtract 1744 from 1864 to get 120.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 120, then repeat: 1208 / 218

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 1208 by 218, we get 5 and a remainder of 118.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 241685.0
Deduct 1090 from 1208 and we're left with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
218 goes into 1180 5 times with a remainder of 90.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 241685.5
Subtract 1090 from 1180 to get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 900 by 218, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 241685.54
Subtracting 872 from 900 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
218 goes into 280 1 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 241685.541
Subtract 218 from 280 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
218 goes into 620 2 times with a remainder of 184.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 241685.5412
Subtract 436 from 620 to get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1840 by 218, we get 8 with a remainder of 96.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 241685.54128
If we subtract 1744 from 1840, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 218 fits into 960 4 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 241685.541284
If we take 872 away from 960, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 218 fits into 880 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 241685.5412844
Deduct 872 from 880 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 241685.5412844 and a remainder of 8e-08.
