158473 divided by 53 
We want to divide 158473 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 53, we get 0 and 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.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 158 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 106 from 158, we get 52.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 524 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 524 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 477 from 524 to get 47.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 477 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
477 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we take 477 away from 477, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 53

On to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2990.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
53 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2990.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
53 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2990.05
Deduct 265 from 300 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
350 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2990.056
If we take 318 away from 350, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 53 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2990.0566
Subtracting 318 from 320 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 2990.0566 with a remainder of 2e-05.
