We're dividing 259322 by 53 
We want to divide 259322 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
53 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 53

On to step 3:
When dividing 259 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 47.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 212 from 259, we get 47.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 473 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
473 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 49.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 424 away from 473, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 492 / 53

On to step 5:
If we divide 492 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 489.0
Subtracting 477 from 492 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 152 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 152 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4892.0
Subtracting 106 from 152 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
53 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4892.8
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4892.86
Subtract 318 from 360 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 420 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 49.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4892.867
Subtracting 371 from 420 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 10:
53 can be fit into 490 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4892.8679
If we subtract 477 from 490, we get 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 11:
When dividing 130 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4892.86792
If we subtract 106 from 130, we 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.

On to step 12:
53 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4892.867924
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 4892.8679245
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 14:
53 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4892.86792452
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.

After the division, we end up with 4892.86792452 and a remainder of 4.4e-08.
