Let's divide 254462 by 53
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 254462.

Advancing to step 1:
53 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 53

On to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 53

On to step 3:
254 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 212 from 254 and we're left with 42.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 424 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
53 can be fit into 424 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 424 from 424.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
6 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 480.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 53

Step 6:
The number 53 fits into 62 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4801.0
Subtract 53 from 62 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
90 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4801.1
Subtract 53 from 90 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4801.16
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.

Moving on 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: 4801.169
If we subtract 477 from 520, we 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:
The number 53 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4801.1698
If we take 424 away from 430, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4801.16981
Subtract 53 from 60 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 12:
53 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4801.169811
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 53 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4801.169811 with a remaining 1.7e-06.
