We're dividing 122870 by 52 
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 122870.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
122 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 104 away from 122, we end up with 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 52

Step 4:
The number 52 fits into 188 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 156 from 188 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 327 / 52

On to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 327 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 236.0
Subtract 312 from 327 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 150 / 52

Step 6:
52 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2362.0
Subtract 104 from 150 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
52 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2362.8
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 416 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 440 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2362.88
If we take 416 away from 440, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2362.88 and a remainder of 0.024.
