Default How to break out data combined in a single cell

I am trying to pull out numbers from a cell containing multiple numbers
separated by commas. For example, cell C2 contains 2,36,52,81,90,29. I
would like to be able to get the first number is cell D2, the second number
in cell E2, etc. Not sure what functions/formulas to use.

One way via Data Text to Columns
Select C2, click Data Text to Columns Delimited
In Step 2, check "Other" and enter a comma in the box, click Finish.
