Let's divide 842538 by 53
We want to divide 842538 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
53 can be fit into 84 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 53 from 84.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 312 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
312 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 47.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 265 away from 312, we end up with 47.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 475 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
53 goes into 475 8 times with a remainder of 51.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtracting 424 from 475 leaves us with 51.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 513 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 513 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 36.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1589.0
If we subtract 477 from 513, we get 36.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 368 / 53

Step 6:
The number 53 fits into 368 6 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15896.0
Subtract 318 from 368 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
53 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15896.9
Subtracting 477 from 500 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
230 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15896.94
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 212 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
180 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15896.943
If we take 159 away from 180, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
53 can be fit into 210 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15896.9433
Deduct 159 from 210 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15896.9433 with a balance of 0.00051.
