Let's divide 120690 by 53
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 120690.

Advancing to step 1:
53 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 120 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
53 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 106 from 120.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 146 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 106 from 146 leaves us with 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 53

Step 5:
If we divide 409 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 227.0
If we subtract 371 from 409, we get 38.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 380 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 380 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2277.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 371 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2277.1
Subtracting 53 from 90 leaves us 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 8:
The number 53 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2277.16
Subtracting 318 from 370 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2277.169
If we subtract 477 from 520, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
53 can be fit into 430 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2277.1698
If we subtract 424 from 430, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
53 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2277.16981
Subtract 53 from 60 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 70 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2277.169811
Subtracting 53 from 70 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 2277.169811, with a leftover of 1.7e-06.
