We divide 974642 by 52
Our goal is to divide 974642 by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
52 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 52 from 97 to get 45.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 454 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 454 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 416 from 454 leaves us with 38.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 386 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 386 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtract 364 from 386 to get 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 224 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1874.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 208 from 224.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 162 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 162 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18743.0
If we subtract 156 from 162, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
52 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18743.1
Deduct 52 from 60 and we're left 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 8:
The number 52 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18743.11
If we take 52 away from 80, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 18743.11, and the remainder is 0.028.
