We divide 976774 by 53
We want to divide 976774 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
53 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 53

On to step 2:
97 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 53 from 97 and we're left with 44.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 446 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
53 goes into 446 8 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 424 from 446 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 227 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 227 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 184.0
If we subtract 212 from 227, we get 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
157 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 51.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1842.0
Subtracting 106 from 157 leaves us with 51.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 514 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 514 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18429.0
Subtracting 477 from 514 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
370 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18429.6
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18429.69
Deduct 477 from 520 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18429.698
Subtracting 424 from 430 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
60 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18429.6981
Subtracting 53 from 60 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
53 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18429.69811
If we subtract 53 from 70, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18429.69811 with a balance of 1.7e-05.
