We're dividing 870559 by 52 
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 870559.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
52 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 52 from 87, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 350 / 52

On to step 3:
52 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 312 from 350 to get 38.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 385 / 52

Advancing to step 4:
52 can be fit into 385 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
Subtracting 364 from 385 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 215 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 215 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1674.0
Deduct 208 from 215 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 52

Step 6:
52 can be fit into 79 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16741.0
Deduct 52 from 79 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 270 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16741.5
Subtracting 260 from 270 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16741.51
Deduct 52 from 100 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
480 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16741.519
Subtract 468 from 480 to get 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 10:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16741.5192
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16741.51923
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16741.51923
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16741.5192307
Subtracting 364 from 400 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16741.51923076
If we take 312 away from 360, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16741.51923076 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
