We divide 261386 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 261386 can be divided by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 52

On to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 261 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 260 from 261 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 52

On to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 138 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 502.0
Subtract 104 from 138 to get 34.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 346 / 52

Advancing to step 6:
346 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5026.0
If we take 312 away from 346, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5026.6
If we take 312 away from 340, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5026.65
Subtract 260 from 280 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 52 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5026.653
If we take 156 away from 200, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 440 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5026.6538
Deduct 416 from 440 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5026.65384
If we subtract 208 from 240, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5026.653846
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us 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 13:
When dividing 80 by 52, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5026.6538461
Deduct 52 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5026.65384615
If we take 260 away from 280, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 5026.65384615 with a remainder of 2e-08.
