Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $5$ from dividend $5240$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}\phantom{1}\\20\overline{)5240}\\\end{array}$$

Since $5$ is less than $20$, use the next digit $2$ from dividend $5240$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{2}\\20\overline{)5240}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $2$ from dividend $5240$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{3}\\20\overline{)5240}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $20$ to $52$. We see that $2 \times 20 = 40$ is the nearest. Now subtract $40$ from $52$ to get reminder $12$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}02\phantom{4}\\20\overline{)5240}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{20)}12\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $4$ from dividend $5240$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}02\phantom{5}\\20\overline{)5240}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{20)}124\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $20$ to $124$. We see that $6 \times 20 = 120$ is the nearest. Now subtract $120$ from $124$ to get reminder $4$. Add $6$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}026\phantom{6}\\20\overline{)5240}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{20)}124\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}120\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{20)99}4\\\end{array}$$

Use the $4^{th}$ digit $0$ from dividend $5240$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}026\phantom{7}\\20\overline{)5240}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{20)}124\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}120\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{20)99}40\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $20$ to $40$. We see that $2 \times 20 = 40$ is the nearest. Now subtract $40$ from $40$ to get reminder $0$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0262\phantom{8}\\20\overline{)5240}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{20)}124\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}120\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{20)99}40\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{99}40\phantom{}}\\\phantom{20)9999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $20$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $0262$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $262$.

$$\text{Quotient: }262$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
