We divide 261955 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 261955 can be divided by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
52 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
52 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 52

Let's proceed to step 3:
261 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 260 from 261.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 52

On to step 4:
When dividing 19 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 195 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
52 goes into 195 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 503.0
Subtract 156 from 195 to get 39.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 395 / 52

Step 6:
52 can be fit into 395 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5037.0
If we take 364 away from 395, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.5
Subtracting 260 from 310 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 52, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.59
If we take 468 away from 500, 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.

On to step 9:
The number 52 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5037.596
Deduct 312 from 320 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
52 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5037.5961
If we take 52 away from 80, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.59615
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 52, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.596153
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 440 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5037.5961538
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 240 by 52, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5037.59615384
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.

The quotient of the division is 5037.59615384, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
