We divide 52966 by 9
Our goal is to divide 52966 by 9.

On to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
52 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 45 from 52 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 9

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 79 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we take 72 away from 79, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 76 by 9, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 588.0
Subtracting 72 from 76 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 9

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 9 fits into 46 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5885.0
If we take 45 away from 46, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
9 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5885.1
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5885.11
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 5885.11 with a remainder of 0.001.
