We're dividing 686893 by 53 
Our goal is to divide 686893 by 53.

On to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 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
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 53 from 68.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
53 goes into 156 2 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 106 from 156 to get 50.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 508 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 508 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 129.0
If we subtract 477 from 508, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 53

Step 5:
53 can be fit into 319 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1296.0
If we subtract 318 from 319, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 13 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12960.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
130 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12960.2
Subtracting 106 from 130 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
53 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12960.24
Subtracting 212 from 240 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12960.245
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 265 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12960.2452
Deduct 106 from 150 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 440 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12960.24528
If we subtract 424 from 440, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12960.245283
If we take 159 away from 160, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
10 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12960.245283
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12960.24528301
Subtract 53 from 100 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12960.24528301 with a balance of 4.7e-08.
