Let's divide 161502 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 161502 can be divided by 53.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
161 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 159 from 161 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
53 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 250 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
53 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 304.0
If we subtract 212 from 250, we get 38.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 53

Step 6:
382 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3047.0
Subtracting 371 from 382 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
53 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3047.2
Subtracting 106 from 110 leaves us 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 8:
When dividing 40 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3047.2
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 53 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3047.207
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 10:
53 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3047.2075
Deduct 265 from 290 and we're left with 25.
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 11:
When dividing 250 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3047.20754
Subtracting 212 from 250 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3047.207547
Deduct 371 from 380 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
90 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3047.2075471
If we subtract 53 from 90, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 370 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3047.20754716
If we take 318 away from 370, we end up 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.

Our division results in 3047.20754716 with a remaining 5.2e-08.
