204540 divided by 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 204540.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 53

On to step 2:
20 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
204 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 159 from 204 leaves us with 45.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 455 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
53 goes into 455 8 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 424 from 455 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 314 / 53

On to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 314 5 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 385.0
Subtracting 265 from 314 leaves us with 49.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 490 / 53

Step 6:
53 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3859.0
If we subtract 477 from 490, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
53 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3859.2
If we take 106 away from 130, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
53 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3859.24
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 212 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3859.245
Subtracting 265 from 280 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3859.2452
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 106 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
440 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3859.24528
Subtracting 424 from 440 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
160 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3859.245283
Subtracting 159 from 160 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 10 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3859.245283
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
53 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3859.24528301
If we subtract 53 from 100, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3859.24528301, with a leftover of 4.7e-08.
