Let's divide 79251 by 53
We want to divide 79251 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 53

On to step 2:
When dividing 79 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 79, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 53

On to step 3:
When dividing 262 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 50.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 212 from 262 to get 50.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 505 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
53 goes into 505 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 149.0
Subtract 477 from 505 to get 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 53

On to step 5:
If we divide 281 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1495.0
Subtracting 265 from 281 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
53 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1495.3
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 159 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
53 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1495.3
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1495.301
Subtract 53 from 100 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
53 can be fit into 470 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1495.3018
Subtract 424 from 470 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
53 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1495.30188
Subtract 424 from 460 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 1495.30188 with a remainder of 3.6e-05.
