We look at the division of 52459 by 20 
We want to divide 52459 by 20.

Let's proceed to step 1:
20 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 20

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 52 by 20, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 40 from 52 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 20

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 124 by 20, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 120 from 124 to get 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 20

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 45 by 20, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 262.0
Subtracting 40 from 45 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 20

On to step 5:
20 can be fit into 59 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2622.0
Deduct 40 from 59 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
190 divided by 20 is 9 with a remainder of 10.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2622.9
Subtract 180 from 190 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
100 divided by 20 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2622.95
If we take 100 away from 100, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 20, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2622.95
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
0 divided by 20 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2622.95
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2622.95, and the remainder is 0.0.
