We're dividing 386431 by 53 
Our goal is to divide 386431 by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 53

On to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 386 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 386 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 371 from 386 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 154 / 53

Step 4:
53 can be fit into 154 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 106 away from 154, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 483 / 53

Step 5:
When dividing 483 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 729.0
Subtracting 477 from 483 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 61 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7291.0
If we subtract 53 from 61, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
53 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7291.1
If we take 53 away from 80, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 270 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7291.15
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 265 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
53 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7291.15
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7291.1509
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7291.15094
If we take 212 away from 230, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7291.150943
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 159 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
53 goes into 210 3 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7291.1509433
Subtract 159 from 210 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7291.1509433 with a remaining 5.1e-07.
