We're dividing 686538 by 53 
We want to divide 686538 by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 53

On to step 2:
68 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 53 away from 68, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 156 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 106 from 156, we get 50.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 505 / 53

On to step 4:
53 goes into 505 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtract 477 from 505 to get 28.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 283 / 53

Step 5:
If we divide 283 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 18.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1295.0
If we subtract 265 from 283, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 53

On to step 6:
When dividing 188 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12953.0
Deduct 159 from 188 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
53 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12953.5
If we subtract 265 from 290, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 53 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12953.54
Deduct 212 from 250 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 can be fit into 380 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12953.547
Subtract 371 from 380 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 90 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12953.5471
If we take 53 away from 90, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 370 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12953.54716
Subtract 318 from 370 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12953.547169
Subtracting 477 from 520 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 53 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12953.5471698
Subtract 424 from 430 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 53 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12953.54716981
Subtracting 53 from 60 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12953.54716981, and the remainder is 7e-09.
