We're dividing 972265 by 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 972265.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 52 from 97 and we're left with 45.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 452 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
452 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 416 from 452.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 52

On to step 4:
52 goes into 362 6 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 186.0
Deduct 312 from 362 and we're left with 50.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 506 / 52

Step 5:
If we divide 506 by 52, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1869.0
Subtract 468 from 506 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 385 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 385 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18697.0
Deduct 364 from 385 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
52 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18697.4
Subtracting 208 from 210 leaves us 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 8:
52 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18697.4
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18697.403
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:
The number 52 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18697.4038
If we subtract 416 from 440, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
52 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18697.40384
If we take 208 away from 240, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
52 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18697.403846
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.

Step 13:
52 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18697.4038461
If we take 52 away from 80, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18697.40384615
If we subtract 260 from 280, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18697.40384615 with a balance of 2e-08.
