We divide 478863 by 52
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 478863.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 52

On to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 52

Going ahead to step 3:
52 goes into 478 9 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 468 from 478.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
52 can be fit into 108 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 92.0
If we take 104 away from 108, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 920.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 463 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 463 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9208.0
Subtracting 416 from 463 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 470 by 52, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9208.9
If we take 468 away from 470, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
20 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9208.9
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 52 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9208.903
If we subtract 156 from 200, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
52 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9208.9038
Subtracting 416 from 440 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
52 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9208.90384
Subtracting 208 from 240 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
52 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9208.903846
Deduct 312 from 320 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.

Advancing to step 13:
52 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9208.9038461
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 52 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
52 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9208.90384615
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 260 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9208.90384615 and a remainder of 2e-08.
