We divide 156958 by 53
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 156958.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 156 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 106 from 156, we get 50.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 509 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
509 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 477 from 509 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 325 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
53 can be fit into 325 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 296.0
Deduct 318 from 325 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2961.0
Subtracting 53 from 78 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
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: 2961.4
If we subtract 212 from 250, we 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.

Step 8:
380 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2961.47
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 9:
The number 53 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2961.471
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.

Moving on to step 10:
53 can be fit into 370 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2961.4716
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 318 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 520 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2961.47169
If we subtract 477 from 520, we 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.

Step 12:
53 can be fit into 430 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2961.471698
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 424 from 430.
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 13:
When dividing 60 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2961.4716981
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up 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 14:
If we divide 70 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2961.47169811
Deduct 53 from 70 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 2961.47169811 and a remainder of 1.7e-08.
