We divide 985422 by 52
We want to divide 985422 by 52.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 52 away from 98, we end up with 46.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 465 / 52

On to step 3:
52 can be fit into 465 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 416 from 465, we get 49.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 494 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
494 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 189.0
Deduct 468 from 494 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 262 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1895.0
Deduct 260 from 262 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
22 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18950.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18950.4
Deduct 208 from 220 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
52 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18950.42
If we subtract 104 from 120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18950.423
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18950.423
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18950.42307
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 364 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 360 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18950.423076
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
52 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18950.4230769
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
52 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18950.42307692
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 18950.42307692, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
