Let's divide 879967 by 53
We want to divide 879967 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 53

On to step 2:
87 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 53 from 87 to get 34.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 349 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 349 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 318 from 349 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 319 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
53 can be fit into 319 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtract 318 from 319 to get 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 53

On to step 5:
If we divide 16 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1660.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
53 goes into 167 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16603.0
Subtracting 159 from 167 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.

Advancing to step 7:
80 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16603.1
Deduct 53 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16603.15
Subtracting 265 from 270 leaves us 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 9:
50 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16603.15
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 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 10:
53 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16603.1509
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
230 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16603.15094
If we take 212 away from 230, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16603.150943
Subtracting 159 from 180 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 210 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 51.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16603.1509433
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 159 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16603.1509433 with a balance of 5.1e-07.
