We divide 52431 by 52
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 52431.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 52

Moving on to step 2:
52 can be fit into 52 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 52 from 52 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 52

Step 3:
4 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 43 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 100.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 431 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 goes into 431 8 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1008.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 416 from 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
52 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1008.2
If we take 104 away from 150, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 460 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1008.28
Subtracting 416 from 460 leaves us 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:
When dividing 440 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1008.288
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1008.288 with a balance of 0.0024.
