116742 ÷ 52 
We want to divide 116742 by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 52

Step 2:
52 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 52

Step 3:
116 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 104 from 116 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 52

Step 4:
127 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 104 from 127.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 234 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
52 can be fit into 234 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtract 208 from 234 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
52 goes into 262 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2245.0
Deduct 260 from 262 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
52 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2245.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2245.03
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2245.038
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 416 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 240 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2245.0384
If we subtract 208 from 240, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2245.03846
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2245.038461
If we subtract 52 from 80, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 280 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2245.0384615
If we take 260 away from 280, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2245.03846153
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2245.03846153 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
