We look at the division of 168178 by 53 
Our goal is to divide 168178 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 53

Step 2:
If we divide 16 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 168 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 159 from 168 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 91 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
53 goes into 91 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 53 away from 91, we end up with 38.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 387 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
53 can be fit into 387 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 317.0
Subtract 371 from 387 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
168 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3173.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 159 from 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
53 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3173.1
Subtracting 53 from 90 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
53 can be fit into 370 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3173.16
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.

Advancing to step 9:
53 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3173.169
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.

Step 10:
430 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3173.1698
Subtract 424 from 430 to get 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 11:
If we divide 60 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3173.16981
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up with 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 12:
53 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3173.169811
Subtract 53 from 70 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 3173.169811 with a remainder of 1.7e-06.
