We're dividing 538754 by 52 
Our goal is to divide 538754 by 52.

Going ahead to step 1:
52 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 52

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 52 from 53.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 52

On to step 3:
18 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 52

Advancing to step 4:
187 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 103.0
Subtract 156 from 187 to get 31.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 315 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 315 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1036.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 312 from 315.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 52

Advancing to step 6:
52 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10360.0
Deduct 0 from 34 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 52, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10360.6
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
280 divided by 52 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10360.65
If we subtract 260 from 280, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
52 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10360.653
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
440 divided by 52 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10360.6538
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.

Advancing to step 11:
52 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10360.65384
Subtract 208 from 240 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10360.653846
Subtract 312 from 320 to 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.

On to step 13:
52 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10360.6538461
Deduct 52 from 80 and we're left 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 14:
52 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10360.65384615
If we take 260 away from 280, we end up 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.

The final result is 10360.65384615 with a remainder of 2e-08.
