Let's divide 700986 by 52
Our goal is to divide 700986 by 52.

On to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 52 away from 70, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 180 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 180 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 249 / 52

Step 4:
If we divide 249 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 134.0
If we subtract 208 from 249, we get 41.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 418 / 52

On to step 5:
When dividing 418 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1348.0
Subtracting 416 from 418 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
26 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13480.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13480.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 260 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 0 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13480.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
52 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13480.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13480.5 with a balance of 0.0.
