We divide 52255233 by 972
We're looking to find how many times 972 goes into 52255233.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 52 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 52.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 52 to get 52.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 522 / 972

Step 3:
972 goes into 522 0 times with a remainder of 522.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 522, we end up with 522.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 522, then carry on: 5225 / 972

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 5225 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 365.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 4860 away from 5225, we end up with 365.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 365, then carry on: 3655 / 972

Step 5:
972 goes into 3655 3 times with a remainder of 739.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Deduct 2916 from 3655 and we're left with 739.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 739, then repeat: 7392 / 972

Step 6:
If we divide 7392 by 972, we get 7 and a remainder of 588.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 537.0
Subtract 6804 from 7392 to get 588.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 588, then repeat: 5883 / 972

Step 7:
5883 divided by 972 is 6 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5376.0
If we subtract 5832 from 5883, we get 51.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 513 / 972

Step 8:
If we divide 513 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 513.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 53760.0
If we subtract 0 from 513, we get 513.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 5130 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 270.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53760.5
If we subtract 4860 from 5130, we get 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 972 fits into 2700 2 times, leaving a remainder of 756.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53760.52
Subtract 1944 from 2700 to get 756.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 7560 by 972, we get 7 and a remainder of 756.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53760.527
Deduct 6804 from 7560 and we're left with 756.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7560, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 7560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 756.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53760.5277
Subtract 6804 from 7560 to get 756.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 53760.5277 with a balance of 0.00756.
