We're dividing 723731 by 53 
Our goal is to divide 723731 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
53 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 53

Step 2:
53 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 72, we get 19.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 193 / 53

Step 3:
The number 53 fits into 193 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 159 away from 193, we end up with 34.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 347 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
53 goes into 347 6 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 136.0
If we take 318 away from 347, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 293 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 293 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1365.0
Deduct 265 from 293 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 53

Step 6:
53 can be fit into 281 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13655.0
Subtracting 265 from 281 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13655.3
If we take 159 away from 160, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13655.3
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
53 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13655.301
Subtract 53 from 100 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
470 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13655.3018
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 424 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 460 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13655.30188
If we subtract 424 from 460, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 13655.30188, and the remainder is 3.6e-05.
