We look at the division of 52470418 by 972 
We want to divide 52470418 by 972.

On to step 1:
The number 972 fits into 5 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 972

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 972 fits into 52 0 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 524 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
972 can be fit into 524 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 524.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 524, we end up with 524.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 524 and continue with: 5247 / 972

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 5247 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 387.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 4860 from 5247 to get 387.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 387, then repeat: 3870 / 972

Step 5:
3870 divided by 972 is 3 with a remainder of 954.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 2916 from 3870, we get 954.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 954, then repeat: 9544 / 972

Moving on to step 6:
The number 972 fits into 9544 9 times, leaving a remainder of 796.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 539.0
Subtracting 8748 from 9544 leaves us with 796.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 796, then carry on: 7961 / 972

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 7961 by 972, we get 8 with a remainder of 185.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5398.0
Subtract 7776 from 7961 to get 185.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 185, then repeat: 1858 / 972

Moving on to step 8:
972 goes into 1858 1 times with a remainder of 886.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53981.0
The remainder is 886 after subtracting 972 from 1858.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8860, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
8860 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 112.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53981.9
Subtracting 8748 from 8860 leaves us with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 1120 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 53981.91
If we subtract 972 from 1120, we get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 1480 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 508.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53981.911
If we subtract 972 from 1480, we get 508.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

The final result is 53981.911 with a remainder of 0.0508.
