Let's divide 961457 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 961457 can be divided by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
53 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 53

Step 2:
When dividing 96 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 53 away from 96, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 431 / 53

On to step 3:
If we divide 431 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 424 from 431.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
74 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 181.0
Deduct 53 from 74 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 215 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 215 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1814.0
Deduct 212 from 215 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18140.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 53 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18140.6
Subtracting 318 from 370 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 520 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18140.69
Subtract 477 from 520 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18140.698
Subtracting 424 from 430 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
53 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18140.6981
Subtract 53 from 60 to get 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 11:
The number 53 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18140.69811
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 18140.69811 with a remaining 1.7e-05.
