We divide 685943 by 53
Let's see how many times 53 fits into 685943.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 53

On to step 2:
When dividing 68 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 68, we get 15.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 155 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 155 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 106 from 155 leaves us with 49.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 499 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
53 can be fit into 499 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtracting 477 from 499 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 53

Step 5:
53 goes into 224 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1294.0
If we subtract 212 from 224, we get 12.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 123 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
53 goes into 123 2 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12942.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 106 from 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12942.3
Subtract 159 from 170 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
53 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12942.32
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 106 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
53 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12942.32
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
400 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12942.3207
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 371 from 400.
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.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12942.32075
If we take 265 away from 290, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 250 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12942.320754
Subtracting 212 from 250 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 380 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12942.3207547
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.

On to step 14:
53 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12942.32075471
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12942.32075471 with a balance of 3.7e-08.
