Let's divide 462973 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 462973 can be divided by 52.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
52 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 462 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 462 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 416 away from 462, we end up with 46.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 469 / 52

Step 4:
When dividing 469 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
Subtracting 468 from 469 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 52

On to step 5:
52 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 890.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 173 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8903.0
If we subtract 156 from 173, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8903.3
Subtracting 156 from 170 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8903.32
Subtract 104 from 140 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.

Step 9:
52 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8903.326
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
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 10:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8903.3269
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8903.32692
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8903.326923
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8903.326923
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 14:
52 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8903.32692307
Subtracting 364 from 400 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8903.32692307, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
