Let's divide 578617 by 53
Our goal is to divide 578617 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
57 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 53 from 57.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 53

On to step 3:
53 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 486 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 486 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtract 477 from 486 to get 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 53

Step 5:
53 can be fit into 91 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1091.0
If we subtract 53 from 91, we get 38.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 387 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 387 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10917.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 371 from 387.
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 7:
160 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10917.3
Deduct 159 from 160 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10917.3
If we subtract 0 from 10, we 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.

On to step 9:
100 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10917.301
Deduct 53 from 100 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 470 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10917.3018
Subtracting 424 from 470 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
53 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10917.30188
Subtract 424 from 460 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 10917.30188 with a remainder of 3.6e-05.
