Let's divide 257399 by 53
We want to divide 257399 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
53 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
25 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 45.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 212 away from 257, we end up with 45.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 453 / 53

Step 4:
53 can be fit into 453 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 424 from 453 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 53

Step 5:
299 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 485.0
Subtracting 265 from 299 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 349 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 349 6 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4856.0
If we subtract 318 from 349, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
310 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4856.5
If we subtract 265 from 310, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
53 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4856.58
Subtract 424 from 450 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
260 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4856.584
If we take 212 away from 260, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4856.5849
If we subtract 477 from 480, 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 11:
The number 53 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4856.5849
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4856.584905
If we take 265 away from 300, we end up 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 13:
53 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4856.5849056
Subtract 318 from 350 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
53 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4856.58490566
If we subtract 318 from 320, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4856.58490566 with a remaining 2e-09.
