Let's divide 842734 by 53
Our goal is to divide 842734 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 53

On to step 2:
53 goes into 84 1 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 53 from 84.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 312 / 53

Step 3:
When dividing 312 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 47.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 265 from 312, we get 47.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 477 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
477 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159.0
Deduct 477 from 477 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 53

On to step 5:
If we divide 3 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1590.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
34 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15900.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 340 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15900.6
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.

On to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15900.64
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
53 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15900.641
Subtracting 53 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 270 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15900.6415
Deduct 265 from 270 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15900.6415
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15900.641509
If we subtract 477 from 500, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 230 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15900.6415094
Subtract 212 from 230 to get 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:
180 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15900.64150943
Subtract 159 from 180 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15900.64150943 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
