Let's divide 52136457 by 261
We want to figure out the number of times 52136457 can be divided by 261.

Step 1:
5 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 261

On to step 2:
When dividing 52 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 52 to get 52.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 521 / 261

Advancing to step 3:
The number 261 fits into 521 1 times, leaving a remainder of 260.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 261 from 521, we get 260.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 260, then carry on: 2603 / 261

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2603 by 261, we get 9 with a remainder of 254.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 2349 away from 2603, we end up with 254.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 254, then carry on: 2546 / 261

Moving on to step 5:
261 can be fit into 2546 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 197.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 199.0
Subtract 2349 from 2546 to get 197.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 197 and continue with: 1974 / 261

Moving on to step 6:
261 can be fit into 1974 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 147.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1997.0
Deduct 1827 from 1974 and we're left with 147.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 147 and continue with: 1475 / 261

On to step 7:
The number 261 fits into 1475 5 times, leaving a remainder of 170.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19975.0
Subtracting 1305 from 1475 leaves us with 170.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 170 and continue with: 1707 / 261

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 1707 by 261, we get 6 with a remainder of 141.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 199756.0
If we subtract 1566 from 1707, we get 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
261 can be fit into 1410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 105.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 199756.5
If we take 1305 away from 1410, we end up with 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 261 fits into 1050 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 199756.54
If we take 1044 away from 1050, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
261 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 199756.54
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
261 can be fit into 600 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 199756.5402
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 522 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
261 goes into 780 2 times with a remainder of 258.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 199756.54022
The remainder is 258 after subtracting 522 from 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 199756.54022 with a balance of 0.000258.
