53965484 ÷ 257 
We want to divide 53965484 by 257.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 257

On to step 2:
257 can be fit into 53 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 0 from 53.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 539 / 257

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 257 fits into 539 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 514 from 539 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 256 / 257

Step 4:
256 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 256.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 256 leaves us with 256.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 256 and continue: 2565 / 257

Advancing to step 5:
2565 divided by 257 is 9 with a remainder of 252.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 209.0
Subtract 2313 from 2565 to get 252.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 252 and repeat the process: 2524 / 257

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2524 by 257, we get 9 and a remainder of 211.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2099.0
Subtract 2313 from 2524 to get 211.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 211 and repeat the process: 2118 / 257

Let's proceed to step 7:
257 can be fit into 2118 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20998.0
If we subtract 2056 from 2118, we get 62.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 624 / 257

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 624 by 257, we get 2 with a remainder of 110.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 209982.0
If we take 514 away from 624, we end up with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 1100 by 257, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 209982.4
Deduct 1028 from 1100 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
720 divided by 257 is 2 with a remainder of 206.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 209982.42
Subtracting 514 from 720 leaves us with 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
257 goes into 2060 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 209982.428
Subtract 2056 from 2060 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
257 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 209982.428
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
257 goes into 400 1 times with a remainder of 143.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 209982.42801
Subtracting 257 from 400 leaves us with 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
1430 divided by 257 is 5 with a remainder of 145.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 209982.428015
Subtracting 1285 from 1430 leaves us with 145.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1450, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 1450 by 257, we get 5 with a remainder of 165.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 209982.4280155
If we subtract 1285 from 1450, we get 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 209982.4280155 with a balance of 1.65e-06.
