We're dividing 852171 by 53 
Our goal is to divide 852171 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 53

Step 2:
53 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 53 from 85.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 322 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 322 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 318 from 322 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 53

Step 4:
53 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 160.0
If we subtract 0 from 41, we get 41.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 417 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 417 7 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1607.0
If we subtract 371 from 417, we get 46.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 461 / 53

Step 6:
53 goes into 461 8 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16078.0
Deduct 424 from 461 and we're left 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 7:
The number 53 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16078.6
If we subtract 318 from 370, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16078.69
Subtracting 477 from 520 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16078.698
Deduct 424 from 430 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
60 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16078.6981
Deduct 53 from 60 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 70 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16078.69811
If we take 53 away from 70, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16078.69811 with a balance of 1.7e-05.
