52406217 divided by 972 
We want to divide 52406217 by 972.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 972

Going ahead to step 2:
972 can be fit into 52 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 524 / 972

Step 3:
524 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 524.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 524 and we're left with 524.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 524, then repeat: 5240 / 972

Step 4:
972 can be fit into 5240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 380.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4860 from 5240 leaves us with 380.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 380 and repeat the process: 3806 / 972

Moving on to step 5:
3806 divided by 972 is 3 with a remainder of 890.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 2916 from 3806, we get 890.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 890, then repeat: 8902 / 972

On to step 6:
If we divide 8902 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 154.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 539.0
If we take 8748 away from 8902, we end up with 154.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 154, then repeat: 1541 / 972

Step 7:
972 can be fit into 1541 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 569.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5391.0
Subtract 972 from 1541 to get 569.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 569 and repeat the process: 5697 / 972

Let's proceed to step 8:
972 can be fit into 5697 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 837.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53915.0
Subtract 4860 from 5697 to get 837.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
8370 divided by 972 is 8 with a remainder of 594.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53915.8
If we subtract 7776 from 8370, we get 594.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
972 can be fit into 5940 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 53915.86
Deduct 5832 from 5940 and we're left with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 1080 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 108.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53915.861
Subtract 972 from 1080 to get 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
972 goes into 1080 1 times with a remainder of 108.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53915.8611
Deduct 972 from 1080 and we're left with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 53915.8611 with a balance of 0.00108.
