Let's divide 552179 by 53
Our goal is to divide 552179 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 53 from 55.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 53

Step 3:
53 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 53

On to step 4:
If we divide 221 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Deduct 212 from 221 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
97 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1041.0
Subtracting 53 from 97 leaves us with 44.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 449 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 449 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10418.0
Deduct 424 from 449 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10418.4
Deduct 212 from 250 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10418.47
Subtracting 371 from 380 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
53 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10418.471
If we subtract 53 from 90, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 370 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10418.4716
If we subtract 318 from 370, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
53 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10418.47169
If we take 477 away from 520, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10418.471698
Subtracting 424 from 430 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
53 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10418.4716981
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 14:
53 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10418.47169811
Subtracting 53 from 70 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10418.47169811 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
