We're dividing 982960 by 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 982960.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
53 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 53 from 98 to get 45.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 452 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 452 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 424 away from 452, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 53

On to step 4:
53 goes into 289 5 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 185.0
Subtract 265 from 289 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
53 can be fit into 246 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1854.0
If we subtract 212 from 246, we get 34.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 340 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 340 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18546.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 318 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
220 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18546.4
If we take 212 away from 220, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18546.41
If we subtract 53 from 80, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 270 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18546.415
Subtract 265 from 270 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
53 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18546.415
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 500 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18546.41509
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 477 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
53 goes into 230 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18546.415094
If we take 212 away from 230, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
180 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18546.4150943
Subtract 159 from 180 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
53 goes into 210 3 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18546.41509433
If we subtract 159 from 210, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18546.41509433, with a leftover of 5.1e-08.
