We're dividing 147493 by 53 
We want to divide 147493 by 53.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 53

On to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 147 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 147 2 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 106 away from 147, we end up with 41.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 414 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 414 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 371 from 414, we get 43.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 53

On to step 5:
53 goes into 439 8 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 278.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 424 from 439.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 153 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 153 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2782.0
Deduct 106 from 153 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
53 can be fit into 470 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2782.8
Subtracting 424 from 470 leaves us with 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 8:
53 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2782.88
If we take 424 away from 460, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 2782.88 and a remainder of 0.036.
