We're dividing 978505 by 52 
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 978505.

Moving on to step 1:
52 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 97 1 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 458 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 458 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 416 from 458 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 425 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 188.0
Subtract 416 from 425 to get 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 90 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1881.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 52 from 90.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 385 / 52

Step 6:
The number 52 fits into 385 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18817.0
Subtracting 364 from 385 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
52 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18817.4
Subtracting 208 from 210 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18817.4
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
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 9:
52 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18817.403
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.

Advancing to step 10:
52 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18817.4038
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 416 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
52 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18817.40384
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18817.403846
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 80 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18817.4038461
If we subtract 52 from 80, we get 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 14:
52 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18817.40384615
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18817.40384615 with a balance of 2e-08.
