Let's divide 887246 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 887246 can be divided by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 53 from 88.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 357 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 318 from 357, we get 39.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 392 / 53

Step 4:
392 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
If we take 371 away from 392, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 214 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1674.0
If we subtract 212 from 214, we get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16740.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
260 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16740.4
Deduct 212 from 260 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 480 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16740.49
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 477 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 30 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16740.49
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
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 10:
53 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16740.4905
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.

On to step 11:
53 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16740.49056
If we subtract 318 from 350, we 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.

Step 12:
The number 53 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16740.490566
Subtract 318 from 320 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 16740.490566, with a leftover of 2e-07.
