We divide 52940 by 53
We want to divide 52940 by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 529 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
529 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 477 from 529 and we're left with 52.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 524 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 524 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtracting 477 from 524 leaves us with 47.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 470 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 470 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 998.0
Subtracting 424 from 470 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 998.8
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.

Step 7:
53 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 998.86
Subtracting 318 from 360 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 420 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 998.867
If we take 371 away from 420, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
490 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 998.8679
Subtracting 477 from 490 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 998.86792
If we take 106 away from 130, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
53 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 998.867924
Subtracting 212 from 240 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
280 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 998.8679245
Subtract 265 from 280 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
150 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 998.86792452
If we subtract 106 from 150, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 998.86792452 and a remainder of 4.4e-08.
