978434 divided by 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 978434.

Advancing to step 1:
52 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 52

On to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 52 away from 97, we end up with 45.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 458 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
458 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 416 from 458.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 424 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 424 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 188.0
If we take 416 away from 424, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 can be fit into 83 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1881.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 52 from 83.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 314 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18816.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 312 from 314.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
20 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18816.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
52 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18816.03
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
440 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18816.038
If we subtract 416 from 440, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18816.0384
Subtracting 208 from 240 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
320 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18816.03846
Subtract 312 from 320 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
52 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18816.038461
Subtracting 52 from 80 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18816.0384615
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 260 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18816.03846153
Subtract 156 from 200 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18816.03846153, with a leftover of 4.4e-08.
