We divide 247878 by 52
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 247878.

Moving on to step 1:
52 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 247 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 39.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 208 away from 247, we end up with 39.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 398 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 398 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 364 away from 398, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 347 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
52 can be fit into 347 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 476.0
If we subtract 312 from 347, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 52

Moving on to step 6:
52 goes into 358 6 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4766.0
If we subtract 312 from 358, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 460 by 52, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4766.8
If we take 416 away from 460, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
440 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4766.88
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 416 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4766.88 with a balance of 0.024.
