68983 divided by 53 
Our goal is to divide 68983 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
68 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 53 from 68.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
159 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 159 from 159 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 8 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 130.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
53 can be fit into 83 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1301.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 53 from 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
300 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1301.5
Subtract 265 from 300 to get 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 7:
350 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1301.56
Subtract 318 from 350 to get 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 8:
The number 53 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1301.566
If we take 318 away from 320, we end up 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 1301.566 with a balance of 0.0002.
