987992 divided by 53 
Our goal is to divide 987992 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 53 from 98.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 457 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
53 goes into 457 8 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 424 from 457, we get 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 339 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 186.0
If we take 318 away from 339, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 219 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1864.0
If we take 212 away from 219, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 72 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18641.0
Subtracting 53 from 72 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18641.3
Subtract 159 from 190 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 8:
310 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18641.35
Subtracting 265 from 310 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
450 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18641.358
If we subtract 424 from 450, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
53 goes into 260 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18641.3584
Subtract 212 from 260 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
53 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18641.35849
Deduct 477 from 480 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18641.35849
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 53 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18641.3584905
Subtract 265 from 300 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 53 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18641.35849056
If we take 318 away from 350, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18641.35849056 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
