51701 ÷ 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 51701.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 517 / 53

Step 3:
When dividing 517 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 477 from 517, we get 40.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 400 / 53

On to step 4:
53 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 97.0
Deduct 371 from 400 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 291 / 53

Step 5:
291 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 975.0
If we take 265 away from 291, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 260 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 975.4
Subtract 212 from 260 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
480 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 975.49
Subtracting 477 from 480 leaves us 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 8:
53 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 975.49
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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 9:
300 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 975.4905
If we subtract 265 from 300, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 975.49056
If we take 318 away from 350, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
53 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 975.490566
If we subtract 318 from 320, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 975.490566 with a remainder of 2e-07.
