Let's divide 973538 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 973538 can be divided by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
53 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
53 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 53 from 97 and we're left with 44.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 443 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 443 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 424 from 443 to get 19.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 195 / 53

Step 4:
195 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 183.0
If we subtract 159 from 195, we get 36.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 363 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
363 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1836.0
If we subtract 318 from 363, we get 45.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 458 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 458 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18368.0
Deduct 424 from 458 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
53 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18368.6
Subtracting 318 from 340 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18368.64
Subtract 212 from 220 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18368.641
If we take 53 away from 80, we end up 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 10:
If we divide 270 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18368.6415
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 265 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18368.6415
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
53 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18368.641509
If we take 477 away from 500, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 230 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18368.6415094
Deduct 212 from 230 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 180 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18368.64150943
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.

The final result is 18368.64150943 with a remainder of 2.1e-08.
