We divide 312509 by 53
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 312509.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 53

On to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 312 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 312 5 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 265 from 312 leaves us with 47.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 475 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
475 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 424 from 475 to get 51.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 510 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
510 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 589.0
If we subtract 477 from 510, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 339 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
53 can be fit into 339 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5896.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 318 from 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
53 goes into 210 3 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5896.3
If we subtract 159 from 210, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
53 goes into 510 9 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5896.39
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 477 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 goes into 330 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5896.396
If we subtract 318 from 330, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
53 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5896.3962
Subtracting 106 from 120 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5896.39622
If we take 106 away from 140, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final result is 5896.39622 with a remainder of 3.4e-05.
