Let's divide 974144 by 52
We want to divide 974144 by 52.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 52

On to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 52 from 97 to get 45.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 454 / 52

Step 3:
454 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 416 from 454, we get 38.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 381 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 381 by 52, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtract 364 from 381 to get 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 174 / 52

On to step 5:
52 goes into 174 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1873.0
Deduct 156 from 174 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 52

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 184 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18733.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 156 from 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
52 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18733.5
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.

On to step 8:
200 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18733.53
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:
If we divide 440 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18733.538
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 52 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18733.5384
Deduct 208 from 240 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18733.53846
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
52 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18733.538461
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 52 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 280 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18733.5384615
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18733.53846153
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 18733.53846153 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
