214731 divided by 53 
We want to divide 214731 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
53 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 53

Step 2:
If we divide 21 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 53

On to step 3:
214 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 212 away from 214, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
53 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 273 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 273 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 405.0
If we subtract 265 from 273, we get 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 81 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 81 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4051.0
If we take 53 away from 81, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
280 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4051.5
Subtracting 265 from 280 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4051.52
Deduct 106 from 150 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4051.528
Subtracting 424 from 440 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4051.5283
Subtract 159 from 160 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4051.5283
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
100 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4051.528301
If we take 53 away from 100, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 470 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4051.5283018
If we take 424 away from 470, we end up 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.

Step 14:
53 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4051.52830188
Subtracting 424 from 460 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 4051.52830188, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
