221587 divided by 53 
Our goal is to divide 221587 by 53.

On to step 1:
53 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 22 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 221 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 221 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 212 away from 221, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 95 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 53 from 95 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
428 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 418.0
If we subtract 424 from 428, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 53

On to step 6:
53 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4180.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
53 can be fit into 470 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4180.8
If we subtract 424 from 470, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 8:
460 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4180.88
Deduct 424 from 460 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4180.88 and a remainder of 0.036.
