We're dividing 538482 by 52 
Our goal is to divide 538482 by 52.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 52

On to step 2:
53 divided by 52 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 52 away from 53, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 52

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 18 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
184 divided by 52 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 103.0
If we subtract 156 from 184, we get 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 52

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 288 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 28.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1035.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 260 from 288.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 282 / 52

On to step 6:
52 goes into 282 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10355.0
Deduct 260 from 282 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
52 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10355.4
Subtracting 208 from 220 leaves us 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 8:
52 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10355.42
Subtract 104 from 120 to get 16.
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 9:
52 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10355.423
Subtract 156 from 160 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10355.423
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10355.42307
Deduct 364 from 400 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10355.423076
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
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 13:
If we divide 480 by 52, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10355.4230769
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
52 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10355.42307692
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10355.42307692 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
