We're dividing 268581 by 52 
We want to divide 268581 by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
52 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
52 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
52 can be fit into 268 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 260 from 268, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 52

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 85 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 52 from 85.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 52

Step 5:
The number 52 fits into 338 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 516.0
Subtract 312 from 338 to get 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 261 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5165.0
Deduct 260 from 261 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
52 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5165.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
52 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5165.01
If we take 52 away from 100, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
52 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5165.019
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5165.0192
If we take 104 away from 120, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 160 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5165.01923
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5165.01923
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 52, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5165.0192307
Subtracting 364 from 400 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5165.01923076
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5165.01923076 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
