872715 ÷ 53 
Our goal is to divide 872715 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
53 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 53

On to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 53 from 87 to get 34.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 342 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 342 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 318 away from 342, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 247 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 35.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we take 212 away from 247, we end up with 35.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 351 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 351 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1646.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 318 from 351.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 335 / 53

On to step 6:
When dividing 335 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16466.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 318 from 335.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
53 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16466.3
If we subtract 159 from 170, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 110 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16466.32
If we subtract 106 from 110, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16466.32
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
53 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16466.3207
Subtracting 371 from 400 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
53 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16466.32075
Subtracting 265 from 290 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
53 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16466.320754
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 212 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 380 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16466.3207547
Subtracting 371 from 380 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
53 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16466.32075471
If we subtract 53 from 90, we 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.

Our division results in 16466.32075471 with a remaining 3.7e-08.
