We divide 42703 by 53
We want to divide 42703 by 53.

Step 1:
4 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 427 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
427 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 424 from 427 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 30 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 80.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 303 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 303 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 38.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 805.0
If we subtract 265 from 303, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 380 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 805.7
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 371 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
53 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 805.71
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 8:
When dividing 370 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 805.716
If we subtract 318 from 370, we 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.

Moving on to step 9:
53 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 805.7169
Deduct 477 from 520 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
430 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 805.71698
Deduct 424 from 430 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 60 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 805.716981
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 70 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 805.7169811
Subtract 53 from 70 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 805.7169811 and a remainder of 1.7e-07.
