887717 ÷ 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 887717 can be divided by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
53 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 88, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 357 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
357 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 39.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 318 from 357, we get 39.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 397 / 53

On to step 4:
397 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 167.0
Subtracting 371 from 397 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 261 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1674.0
Subtract 212 from 261 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 497 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 497 9 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16749.0
If we take 477 away from 497, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16749.3
Deduct 159 from 200 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 8:
410 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16749.37
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 371 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
53 goes into 390 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16749.377
Deduct 371 from 390 and we're left 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.

The final result is 16749.377 with a remainder of 0.0019.
