We look at the division of 278793 by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 278793 can be divided by 53.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 53

Step 2:
53 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 53

On to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 278 5 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 265 from 278 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 137 2 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we take 106 away from 137, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 319 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 526.0
Subtract 318 from 319 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 13 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5260.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 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.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5260.2
Subtract 106 from 130 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5260.24
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.

Step 9:
53 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5260.245
Subtracting 265 from 280 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5260.2452
Subtract 106 from 150 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
53 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5260.24528
Subtracting 424 from 440 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
53 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5260.245283
If we subtract 159 from 160, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
10 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5260.245283
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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:
The number 53 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5260.24528301
If we subtract 53 from 100, we 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.

Our division results in 5260.24528301 with a remaining 4.7e-08.
