53508 divided by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 53508 can be divided by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 53, we get 53.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 535 / 85

Step 3:
The number 85 fits into 535 6 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 510 from 535 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 250 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 170 from 250, we get 80.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 80 and repeat the process: 808 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 808 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 629.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 765 from 808.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 629.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 425 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 629.5
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
500 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 629.505
Subtract 425 from 500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 629.5058
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 680 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 629.50588
Subtract 680 from 700 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 629.50588 with a balance of 2e-05.
