156966 divided by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 156966 can be divided by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 53

Step 2:
When dividing 15 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
156 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 50.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 106 from 156 leaves us with 50.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 509 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 509 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 477 from 509.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 326 / 53

On to step 5:
326 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 296.0
Subtract 318 from 326 to get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 86 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2961.0
Deduct 53 from 86 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
330 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2961.6
Subtract 318 from 330 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 120 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2961.62
Subtracting 106 from 120 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 140 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2961.622
If we take 106 away from 140, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 2961.622, with a leftover of 0.0034.
