977864 ÷ 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 977864 can be divided by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 97, we get 44.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 447 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
447 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 23.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 424 away from 447, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 238 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 184.0
Deduct 212 from 238 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 266 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
53 goes into 266 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1845.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 265 from 266.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 53

Step 6:
When dividing 14 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18450.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18450.2
Deduct 106 from 140 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18450.26
Subtracting 318 from 340 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 220 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18450.264
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 212 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 80 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18450.2641
If we take 53 away from 80, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 270 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18450.26415
Deduct 265 from 270 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18450.26415
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 500 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18450.2641509
Subtract 477 from 500 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 53 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18450.26415094
If we subtract 212 from 230, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 18450.26415094 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
