Let's divide 253874 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 253874 can be divided by 53.

Step 1:
2 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 53

On to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 253 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
53 goes into 253 4 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 212 from 253 to get 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 53

On to step 4:
When dividing 418 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 371 from 418 to get 47.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 477 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 477 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 479.0
Subtract 477 from 477 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 53

Step 6:
If we divide 4 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4790.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 40 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4790.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4790.07
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 371 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4790.075
Subtracting 265 from 290 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
250 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4790.0754
If we take 212 away from 250, we end up 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 11:
When dividing 380 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4790.07547
Deduct 371 from 380 and we're left with 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 12:
53 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4790.075471
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 53 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 370 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4790.0754716
If we take 318 away from 370, we end up with 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 14:
53 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4790.07547169
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.

The final result is 4790.07547169 with a remainder of 4.3e-08.
