Let's divide 987111 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 987111 can be divided by 52.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 52

Step 2:
52 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 52 from 98 leaves us with 46.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 467 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
52 goes into 467 8 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 416 from 467 and we're left with 51.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 511 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
511 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 189.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 468 from 511.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
52 goes into 431 8 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1898.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 416 from 431.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 52

On to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 151 2 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18982.0
If we take 104 away from 151, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
470 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18982.9
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 468 from 470.
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 8:
20 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18982.9
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.

Moving on to step 9:
52 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18982.903
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18982.9038
Deduct 416 from 440 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18982.90384
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 208 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
52 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18982.903846
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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18982.9038461
Deduct 52 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
52 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18982.90384615
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.

The quotient of the division is 18982.90384615, and the remainder is 2e-08.
