We look at the division of 989748 by 53 
Our goal is to divide 989748 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 53, we get 0 and 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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 53

On to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 53 away from 98, we end up with 45.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 459 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 459 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 424 from 459 leaves us with 35.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 357 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 357 6 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 186.0
If we take 318 away from 357, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 394 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 394 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1867.0
If we take 371 away from 394, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 238 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18674.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 212 from 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18674.4
If we subtract 212 from 260, we 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 8:
480 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18674.49
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 30 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18674.49
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
53 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18674.4905
Subtracting 265 from 300 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 350 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18674.49056
Deduct 318 from 350 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18674.490566
If we subtract 318 from 320, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 18674.490566 with a remainder of 2e-07.
