We divide 218863 by 53
Our goal is to divide 218863 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
53 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 53

On to step 3:
When dividing 218 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 212 away from 218, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 53 from 68 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
53 can be fit into 156 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 412.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 106 from 156.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 503 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 503 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4129.0
If we take 477 away from 503, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
53 can be fit into 260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4129.4
Subtract 212 from 260 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4129.49
If we take 477 away from 480, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 30 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4129.49
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4129.4905
If we subtract 265 from 300, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
53 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4129.49056
Subtract 318 from 350 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4129.490566
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 318 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4129.490566, and the remainder is 2e-07.
