878696 divided by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 878696 can be divided by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
53 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 53

Step 2:
53 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 53 from 87.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 348 / 53

Step 3:
When dividing 348 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 318 from 348 and we're left with 30.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 306 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 306 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 165.0
If we subtract 265 from 306, we get 41.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 419 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
53 goes into 419 7 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1657.0
Deduct 371 from 419 and we're left with 48.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 486 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
53 can be fit into 486 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16579.0
Deduct 477 from 486 and we're left 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 7:
If we divide 90 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16579.1
Deduct 53 from 90 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 370 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16579.16
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16579.169
Subtract 477 from 520 to get 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 10:
If we divide 430 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16579.1698
If we take 424 away from 430, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
53 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16579.16981
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 70 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16579.169811
Subtracting 53 from 70 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 16579.169811, with a leftover of 1.7e-06.
