We're dividing 978071 by 52 
We want to divide 978071 by 52.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 52

Moving on to step 2:
52 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 52 away from 97, we end up with 45.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 458 / 52

Step 3:
52 can be fit into 458 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 416 from 458 and we're left with 42.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 420 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
420 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 416 from 420.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
47 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1880.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 471 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
52 goes into 471 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18809.0
If we take 468 away from 471, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18809.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
52 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18809.05
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 260 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 400 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18809.057
Deduct 364 from 400 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18809.0576
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18809.05769
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18809.057692
Subtract 104 from 120 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18809.0576923
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
52 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18809.0576923
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 18809.0576923 with a remainder of 4e-08.
