Let's divide 978700 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 978700 can be divided by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 52 from 97 to get 45.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 458 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 458 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 416 from 458, we get 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 427 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
Subtract 416 from 427 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 110 / 52

Step 5:
If we divide 110 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1882.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 104 from 110.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
60 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18821.0
Subtracting 52 from 60 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18821.1
If we subtract 52 from 80, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18821.15
If we take 260 away from 280, we end up with 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:
52 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18821.153
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 52 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18821.1538
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:
The number 52 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18821.15384
Subtract 208 from 240 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18821.153846
If we subtract 312 from 320, we get 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:
The number 52 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18821.1538461
Deduct 52 from 80 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18821.15384615
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.

The final outcome is 18821.15384615, with a leftover of 2e-08.
