We look at the division of 998479 by 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 998479.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
53 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 53 from 99 and we're left with 46.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 468 / 53

On to step 3:
When dividing 468 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 424 away from 468, we end up with 44.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 444 / 53

On to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 444 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 188.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 424 from 444.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 53

Step 5:
If we divide 207 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 48.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1883.0
If we subtract 159 from 207, we get 48.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 489 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
53 can be fit into 489 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18839.0
If we subtract 477 from 489, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
120 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18839.2
If we take 106 away from 120, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18839.22
Deduct 106 from 140 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18839.22 and a remainder of 0.034.
