We look at the division of 272601 by 52 
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 272601.

Step 1:
The number 52 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
52 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 272 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 260 away from 272, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
52 can be fit into 126 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtract 104 from 126 to get 22.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 220 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
220 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 524.0
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 121 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5242.0
If we take 104 away from 121, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5242.3
Subtract 156 from 170 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
52 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5242.32
Deduct 104 from 140 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5242.326
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5242.3269
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5242.32692
Deduct 104 from 120 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5242.326923
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
40 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5242.326923
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5242.32692307
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.

The final result is 5242.32692307 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
