We're dividing 148162 by 53 
We want to divide 148162 by 53.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
53 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
53 can be fit into 148 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 106 away from 148, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 421 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
53 goes into 421 7 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 371 from 421, we get 50.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 506 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 506 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279.0
Subtracting 477 from 506 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 292 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
53 can be fit into 292 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2795.0
If we subtract 265 from 292, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 7:
270 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2795.5
Deduct 265 from 270 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2795.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2795.509
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 477 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
53 goes into 230 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2795.5094
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2795.50943
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 210 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2795.509433
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.

After the division, we end up with 2795.509433 and a remainder of 5.1e-06.
