Let's divide 260965 by 52
Let's see how many times 52 fits into 260965.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 52 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 52

On to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 52

Step 3:
If we divide 260 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 260 from 260 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 52

Let's proceed to step 4:
9 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 52

Step 5:
If we divide 96 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 501.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 52 from 96.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 445 / 52

On to step 6:
When dividing 445 by 52, we get 8 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5018.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 416 from 445.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 290 by 52, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5018.5
If we subtract 260 from 290, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
52 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5018.55
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 260 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5018.55 with a balance of 0.04.
