Let's divide 981504 by 52
We want to divide 981504 by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 52 from 98.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 461 / 52

Step 3:
If we divide 461 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 45.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 416 from 461 leaves us with 45.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 455 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
455 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 39.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 188.0
Deduct 416 from 455 and we're left with 39.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 390 / 52

On to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 390 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1887.0
Subtracting 364 from 390 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
52 goes into 264 5 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18875.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 260 from 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18875.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 18875.07
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.

Moving on to step 9:
360 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18875.076
Subtracting 312 from 360 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18875.0769
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
52 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18875.07692
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18875.076923
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
52 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18875.076923
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
400 divided by 52 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18875.07692307
Subtract 364 from 400 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 18875.07692307 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
