72961 divided by 53 
We want to divide 72961 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 53 from 72 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 199 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
199 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 40.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 159 from 199 to get 40.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 406 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 406 7 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we subtract 371 from 406, we get 35.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 351 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 351 6 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1376.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 318 from 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 330 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1376.6
Subtracting 318 from 330 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1376.62
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 106 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1376.622
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 106 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1376.622 with a balance of 0.0034.
