We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 55704.

Going ahead to step 1:
53 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 55, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
53 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 270 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
53 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 105.0
Subtracting 265 from 270 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
54 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1051.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 53 from 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
53 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1051.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1051.01
Subtract 53 from 100 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
470 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1051.018
Subtract 424 from 470 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1051.0188
Deduct 424 from 460 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 1051.0188 with a remaining 0.00036.
