159287 divided by 53 
Our goal is to divide 159287 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
53 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 53

Step 2:
53 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 159 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 159 from 159, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 53

On to step 4:
When dividing 2 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 53

Step 5:
53 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 300.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 53

Step 6:
53 can be fit into 287 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3005.0
Subtract 265 from 287 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
53 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3005.4
If we take 212 away from 220, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
53 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3005.41
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 53 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 270 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3005.415
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.

Advancing to step 10:
53 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3005.415
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
53 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3005.41509
If we subtract 477 from 500, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
53 goes into 230 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3005.415094
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 53 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3005.4150943
Subtracting 159 from 180 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
210 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3005.41509433
If we subtract 159 from 210, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3005.41509433 and a remainder of 5.1e-08.
