5901 ÷ 53 
We want to divide 5901 by 53.

Step 1:
53 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
59 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 53 away from 59, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 53

Step 3:
When dividing 60 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 53

On to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111.0
If we take 53 away from 71, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
53 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 111.3
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.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 210 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 111.33
Subtract 159 from 210 to 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.

The final outcome is 111.33, with a leftover of 0.051.
