Let's divide 872248 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 872248 can be divided by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 53

Step 2:
87 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 53 from 87.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 342 / 53

On to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 342 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 318 from 342.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 242 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we take 212 away from 242, we end up with 30.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 304 / 53

On to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 304 5 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1645.0
Subtract 265 from 304 to get 39.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 398 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 398 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16457.0
If we take 371 away from 398, 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16457.5
Subtract 265 from 270 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16457.5
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16457.509
Deduct 477 from 500 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 10:
53 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16457.5094
If we take 212 away from 230, 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 180 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16457.50943
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 159 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
53 goes into 210 3 times with a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16457.509433
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 159 from 210.
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 16457.509433 and a remainder of 5.1e-06.
