231862 divided by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 231862 can be divided by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
53 can be fit into 231 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 212 from 231, we get 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 198 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 159 from 198.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 396 / 53

Step 5:
If we divide 396 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 25.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 437.0
If we subtract 371 from 396, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 53

On to step 6:
If we divide 252 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4374.0
If we take 212 away from 252, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4374.7
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.

On to step 8:
290 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4374.75
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.

On to step 9:
53 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4374.754
Subtract 212 from 250 to 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 10:
53 goes into 380 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4374.7547
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 371 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
90 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4374.75471
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 370 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4374.754716
If we subtract 318 from 370, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 53 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4374.7547169
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 477 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
53 goes into 430 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4374.75471698
Deduct 424 from 430 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 4374.75471698 with a remaining 6e-09.
