Let's divide 40317 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 40317 can be divided by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
53 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 403 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
403 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 32.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 371 from 403.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 321 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 321 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtract 318 from 321 to get 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 760.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
53 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 760.6
Subtracting 318 from 370 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 760.69
Subtract 477 from 520 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 430 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 760.698
Deduct 424 from 430 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 760.6981
Deduct 53 from 60 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
70 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 760.69811
Subtract 53 from 70 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 760.69811 with a balance of 1.7e-05.
