We divide 971953 by 52
We want to divide 971953 by 52.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 52

Going ahead to step 2:
97 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 52 from 97, we get 45.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 451 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
52 can be fit into 451 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 416 from 451 and we're left with 35.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 359 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 359 6 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 186.0
Deduct 312 from 359 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 475 / 52

Moving on to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 475 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1869.0
If we subtract 468 from 475, we get 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
52 goes into 73 1 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18691.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 52 from 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
210 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18691.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 208 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
52 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18691.4
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18691.403
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.

On to step 10:
440 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18691.4038
Subtract 416 from 440 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 52 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18691.40384
Deduct 208 from 240 and we're left with 32.
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:
52 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18691.403846
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 52 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18691.4038461
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 52 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
52 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18691.40384615
If we subtract 260 from 280, 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.

The final outcome is 18691.40384615, with a leftover of 2e-08.
