Let's divide 161604 by 53
Our goal is to divide 161604 by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 53

On to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 53

Step 3:
When dividing 161 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 159 from 161.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 260 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
260 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 304.0
If we subtract 212 from 260, we get 48.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 484 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 484 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3049.0
If we take 477 away from 484, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3049.1
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 53 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 170 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3049.13
Deduct 159 from 170 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
53 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3049.132
Deduct 106 from 110 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3049.132
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3049.13207
Subtract 371 from 400 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
53 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3049.132075
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 265 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
53 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3049.1320754
If we take 212 away from 250, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
53 goes into 380 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3049.13207547
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 371 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3049.13207547 with a balance of 9e-09.
