217304 divided by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 217304 can be divided by 53.

On to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 217 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 212 away from 217, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 53

On to step 4:
If we divide 53 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 53 from 53 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
53 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 410.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 53

Step 6:
If we divide 4 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4100.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4100.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
53 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4100.07
If we take 371 away from 400, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
53 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4100.075
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 265 from 290.
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 10:
The number 53 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4100.0754
If we take 212 away from 250, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4100.07547
Subtracting 371 from 380 leaves us 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 12:
If we divide 90 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4100.075471
If we take 53 away from 90, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 370 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4100.0754716
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 520 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4100.07547169
Subtracting 477 from 520 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4100.07547169 with a balance of 4.3e-08.
