Let's divide 52386870 by 997
We want to divide 52386870 by 997.

Let's proceed to step 1:
997 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 997

Advancing to step 2:
52 divided by 997 is 0 with a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 52, we get 52.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 523 / 997

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 523 by 997, we get 0 and a remainder of 523.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 523, we end up with 523.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 523 and repeat the process: 5238 / 997

Step 4:
The number 997 fits into 5238 5 times, leaving a remainder of 253.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 4985 from 5238 to get 253.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 253 and continue: 2536 / 997

Step 5:
997 goes into 2536 2 times with a remainder of 542.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 542 after subtracting 1994 from 2536.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 542, then carry on: 5428 / 997

On to step 6:
When dividing 5428 by 997, we get 5 with a remainder of 443.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 525.0
Subtract 4985 from 5428 to get 443.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 443, then repeat: 4437 / 997

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 4437 by 997, we get 4 with a remainder of 449.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5254.0
If we subtract 3988 from 4437, we get 449.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 449 and repeat the process: 4490 / 997

Advancing to step 8:
997 can be fit into 4490 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 502.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52544.0
Subtract 3988 from 4490 to get 502.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5020, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
997 can be fit into 5020 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52544.5
If we subtract 4985 from 5020, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 350 by 997, we get 0 with a remainder of 350.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 52544.5
The remainder is 350 after subtracting 0 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
997 goes into 3500 3 times with a remainder of 509.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52544.503
Subtract 2991 from 3500 to get 509.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5090, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 997 fits into 5090 5 times, leaving a remainder of 105.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52544.5035
The remainder is 105 after subtracting 4985 from 5090.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
997 can be fit into 1050 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52544.50351
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 997 from 1050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 997 fits into 530 0 times, leaving a remainder of 530.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52544.50351
Subtracting 0 from 530 leaves us with 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5300, and continue the process.

Step 15:
5300 divided by 997 is 5 with a remainder of 315.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 52544.5035105
Subtract 4985 from 5300 to get 315.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 3150 by 997, we get 3 with a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52544.50351053
Subtracting 2991 from 3150 leaves us with 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 52544.50351053 and a remainder of 1.59e-07.
