We divide 231457 by 53
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 231457.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 53

On to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 231 4 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 212 away from 231, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 194 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
53 goes into 194 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 159 away from 194, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 355 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
53 can be fit into 355 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 436.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 318 from 355.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 377 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
53 goes into 377 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4367.0
Subtracting 371 from 377 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
60 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4367.1
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 53 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4367.11
Deduct 53 from 70 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4367.11 and a remainder of 0.017.
