We divide 52371 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 52371 can be divided by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 52 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 52, we end up with 52.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 523 / 53

Step 3:
523 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 46.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 477 away from 523, we end up with 46.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 467 / 53

Step 4:
53 goes into 467 8 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we subtract 424 from 467, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 431 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 988.0
Subtract 424 from 431 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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
53 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 988.1
If we take 53 away from 70, we end up with 17.
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:
If we divide 170 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 988.13
Subtracting 159 from 170 leaves us with 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:
The number 53 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 988.132
Deduct 106 from 110 and we're left with 4.
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:
40 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 988.132
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.

On to step 10:
53 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 988.13207
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.

Advancing to step 11:
290 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 988.132075
If we subtract 265 from 290, we get 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:
53 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 988.1320754
If we subtract 212 from 250, we get 38.
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: 988.13207547
If we take 371 away from 380, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 988.13207547, and the remainder is 9e-09.
