We're dividing 876982 by 53 
We want to divide 876982 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
53 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 53 from 87 to get 34.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 346 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 346 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 318 from 346, we get 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 289 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 265 from 289.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 248 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1654.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 212 from 248.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 362 / 53

On to step 6:
53 can be fit into 362 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16546.0
Subtracting 318 from 362 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 440 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16546.8
Subtracting 424 from 440 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
53 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16546.83
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 159 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16546.83
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
53 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16546.8301
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 53 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 470 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16546.83018
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 12:
53 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16546.830188
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16546.830188 with a balance of 3.6e-06.
