We're dividing 987938 by 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 987938 can be divided by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
53 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 98, we get 45.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 457 / 53

On to step 3:
53 goes into 457 8 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 424 from 457, we get 33.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 339 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 339 6 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 186.0
Subtracting 318 from 339 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 213 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
53 can be fit into 213 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1864.0
If we take 212 away from 213, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18640.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18640.3
If we take 159 away from 180, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 210 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18640.33
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 159 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18640.33, with a leftover of 0.051.
