We divide 255372 by 53
Our goal is to divide 255372 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 53

Step 2:
53 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
53 goes into 255 4 times with a remainder of 43.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 212 from 255, we get 43.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 433 / 53

On to step 4:
53 can be fit into 433 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 424 from 433 to get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 53

On to step 5:
97 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 481.0
Subtracting 53 from 97 leaves us with 44.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 442 / 53

On to step 6:
442 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4818.0
Deduct 424 from 442 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4818.3
Subtract 159 from 180 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 4818.33
Deduct 159 from 210 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4818.33, and the remainder is 0.051.
