We're dividing 196938 by 53 
Our goal is to divide 196938 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
53 goes into 1 0 times 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.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 53

On to step 2:
53 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 196 / 53

On to step 3:
196 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 159 away from 196, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 379 / 53

On to step 4:
When dividing 379 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 371 from 379.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 83 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 371.0
If we subtract 53 from 83, we get 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 308 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3715.0
Deduct 265 from 308 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
53 can be fit into 430 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3715.8
Deduct 424 from 430 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 60 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3715.81
If we take 53 away from 60, 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.

Step 9:
53 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3715.811
Deduct 53 from 70 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3715.811 with a remaining 0.0017.
