We look at the division of 542452 by 25 
Our goal is to divide 542452 by 25.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 25, we get 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.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 25

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 25, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 50 from 54 to get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 25

Advancing to step 3:
25 can be fit into 42 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 25 from 42 to get 17.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 174 / 25

On to step 4:
25 can be fit into 174 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 216.0
Subtract 150 from 174 to get 24.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 245 / 25

Moving on to step 5:
25 goes into 245 9 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2169.0
Deduct 225 from 245 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 202 / 25

On to step 6:
The number 25 fits into 202 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21698.0
If we subtract 200 from 202, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
20 divided by 25 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21698.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
25 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21698.08
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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 9:
0 divided by 25 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21698.08
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
25 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21698.08
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

After the division, we end up with 21698.08 and a remainder of 0.0.
