Let's divide 501040 by 52
We're looking to find how many times 52 goes into 501040.

Let's proceed to step 1:
52 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 52

On to step 2:
The number 52 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 501 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 501 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 468 away from 501, we end up with 33.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 330 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
52 can be fit into 330 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 96.0
Deduct 312 from 330 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 184 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 184 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 963.0
Subtract 156 from 184 to get 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 52

Step 6:
52 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9635.0
If we subtract 260 from 280, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9635.3
If we subtract 156 from 200, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
52 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9635.38
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.

Step 9:
240 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9635.384
If we take 208 away from 240, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 52 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9635.3846
If we subtract 312 from 320, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 80 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9635.38461
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.

On to step 12:
280 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9635.384615
Subtracting 260 from 280 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 200 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9635.3846153
Subtracting 156 from 200 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.

Step 14:
52 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9635.38461538
Subtracting 416 from 440 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9635.38461538 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
