We divide 997708 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 997708 can be divided by 53.

Step 1:
53 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 53

Step 2:
53 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 53 from 99.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 467 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
53 goes into 467 8 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 424 away from 467, we end up with 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 53

On to step 4:
When dividing 437 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 13.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 188.0
Deduct 424 from 437 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 130 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
130 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1882.0
Deduct 106 from 130 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 248 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18824.0
Subtract 212 from 248 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.

On to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18824.6
If we subtract 318 from 360, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 53 fits into 420 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18824.67
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 371 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 490 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18824.679
If we take 477 away from 490, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 130 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18824.6792
Subtract 106 from 130 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
53 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18824.67924
Subtract 212 from 240 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
280 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18824.679245
If we take 265 away from 280, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
150 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18824.6792452
If we subtract 106 from 150, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 53 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18824.67924528
If we subtract 424 from 440, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18824.67924528 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
