We look at the division of 140681 by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 140681 can be divided by 53.

On to step 1:
53 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 106 from 140.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 346 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 318 from 346.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 288 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 265.0
Subtracting 265 from 288 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
231 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2654.0
If we subtract 212 from 231, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2654.3
Deduct 159 from 190 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2654.35
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 265 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2654.358
If we take 424 away from 450, 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 10:
The number 53 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2654.3584
Subtracting 212 from 260 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2654.35849
Deduct 477 from 480 and we're left 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 12:
53 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2654.35849
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
53 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2654.3584905
Subtract 265 from 300 to 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.

Step 14:
When dividing 350 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2654.35849056
Subtracting 318 from 350 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 2654.35849056, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
