We divide 489959 by 53
Let's see how many times 53 fits into 489959.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 53, we get 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.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
48 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 489 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 489 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 477 away from 489, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
53 can be fit into 129 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 92.0
Subtract 106 from 129 to get 23.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 235 / 53

On to step 5:
235 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 924.0
If we take 212 away from 235, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 239 / 53

On to step 6:
53 goes into 239 4 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9244.0
Deduct 212 from 239 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
270 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9244.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 265 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9244.5
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
53 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9244.509
Subtract 477 from 500 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9244.5094
If we subtract 212 from 230, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9244.50943
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 210 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9244.509433
Deduct 159 from 210 and we're left with 51.
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 result is 9244.509433 with a remainder of 5.1e-06.
