224978 ÷ 52 
Our goal is to divide 224978 by 52.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
22 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
52 can be fit into 224 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 208 from 224.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 52

On to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 169 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
Deduct 156 from 169 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 137 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
52 goes into 137 2 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 432.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 104 from 137.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 338 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
338 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4326.0
Subtracting 312 from 338 leaves us 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:
When dividing 260 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4326.5
Subtracting 260 from 260 leaves us with 0.
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:
The number 52 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4326.5
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.

On to step 9:
The number 52 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4326.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4326.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
