996862 ÷ 53 
Let's see how many times 53 fits into 996862.

On to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
99 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 53 from 99 and we're left with 46.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 466 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 466 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 424 from 466 and we're left with 42.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 428 / 53

On to step 4:
When dividing 428 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 188.0
Subtracting 424 from 428 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1880.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 462 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
53 can be fit into 462 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18808.0
If we subtract 424 from 462, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18808.7
If we subtract 371 from 380, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 90 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18808.71
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 53 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
53 can be fit into 370 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18808.716
Subtract 318 from 370 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
53 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18808.7169
Deduct 477 from 520 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 430 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18808.71698
Subtracting 424 from 430 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18808.716981
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
70 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18808.7169811
Subtract 53 from 70 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 18808.7169811 with a remainder of 1.7e-07.
