We divide 262604 by 52
We want to figure out the number of times 262604 can be divided by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 52

On to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 262 / 52

On to step 3:
When dividing 262 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 260 from 262 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 52

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 26 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 52

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 505.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 260 from 260.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
52 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5050.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 52 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5050.0
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 8:
The number 52 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5050.07
Subtract 364 from 400 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
360 divided by 52 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5050.076
Deduct 312 from 360 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
480 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5050.0769
Subtract 468 from 480 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
120 divided by 52 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5050.07692
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
52 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5050.076923
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.

Moving on to step 13:
52 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5050.076923
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 14:
52 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5050.07692307
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.

Our division results in 5050.07692307 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
