We look at the division of 542596 by 52 
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 542596.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
52 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 52 from 54.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 52

Step 3:
52 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 52

On to step 4:
225 divided by 52 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Deduct 208 from 225 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 52

On to step 5:
52 can be fit into 179 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1043.0
Subtract 156 from 179 to get 23.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 236 / 52

Advancing to step 6:
52 can be fit into 236 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10434.0
If we take 208 away from 236, 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 7:
52 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10434.5
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
52 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10434.53
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.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 10434.538
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 416 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 52, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10434.5384
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10434.53846
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 12:
If we divide 80 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10434.538461
Subtract 52 from 80 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 280 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10434.5384615
Deduct 260 from 280 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 52 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10434.53846153
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10434.53846153 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
