Let's divide 901284 by 53
We want to divide 901284 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
90 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 53 from 90 to get 37.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 371 / 53

On to step 3:
53 can be fit into 371 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 371 from 371 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 2 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
53 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1700.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 284 / 53

Step 6:
The number 53 fits into 284 5 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17005.0
Subtract 265 from 284 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
190 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17005.3
If we take 159 away from 190, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 310 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17005.35
If we subtract 265 from 310, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 450 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17005.358
Subtract 424 from 450 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
53 goes into 260 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17005.3584
If we take 212 away from 260, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
53 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17005.35849
If we take 477 away from 480, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 30 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17005.35849
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 300 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17005.3584905
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 265 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 350 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17005.35849056
Subtract 318 from 350 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 17005.35849056 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
