540875 divided by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 540875 can be divided by 53.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 53

On to step 2:
53 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 53 from 54 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 53

Step 3:
If we divide 10 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 53

On to step 4:
53 goes into 108 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102.0
Deduct 106 from 108 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 27 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1020.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 275 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
275 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10205.0
If we take 265 away from 275, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 100 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10205.1
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 470 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10205.18
Deduct 424 from 470 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 460 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10205.188
If we subtract 424 from 460, we get 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 10205.188 and a remainder of 0.0036.
