308879 divided by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 308879 can be divided by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
53 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 30 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 53

Step 3:
The number 53 fits into 308 5 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 265 from 308 and we're left with 43.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 438 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
438 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 424 from 438, we get 14.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 147 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 147 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 41.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 582.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 106 from 147.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 53

Step 6:
419 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5827.0
Subtracting 371 from 419 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5827.9
Subtracting 477 from 480 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5827.9
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.

Step 9:
53 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5827.905
Deduct 265 from 300 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 53 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5827.9056
If we take 318 away from 350, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5827.90566
Deduct 318 from 320 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5827.90566 with a balance of 2e-06.
