We divide 158769 by 53
We want to divide 158769 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
53 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 53

Step 2:
15 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 158 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 106 away from 158, we end up with 52.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 527 / 53

Step 4:
527 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 50.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 477 from 527 leaves us with 50.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 506 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 506 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we subtract 477 from 506, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
299 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2995.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 265 from 299.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
53 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2995.6
If we take 318 away from 340, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2995.64
Subtracting 212 from 220 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2995.641
Deduct 53 from 80 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
53 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2995.6415
Subtracting 265 from 270 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 50 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2995.6415
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
53 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2995.641509
Subtracting 477 from 500 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 230 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2995.6415094
Deduct 212 from 230 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
53 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2995.64150943
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 159 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2995.64150943 and a remainder of 2.1e-08.
