We're dividing 158869 by 53 
We want to divide 158869 by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
53 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
53 can be fit into 158 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 106 from 158.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 528 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 528 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 51.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 477 away from 528, we end up with 51.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 516 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 516 9 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
Subtracting 477 from 516 leaves us with 39.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 399 / 53

On to step 6:
When dividing 399 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2997.0
Subtracting 371 from 399 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2997.5
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 265 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 150 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2997.52
Deduct 106 from 150 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2997.528
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 424 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2997.5283
Subtracting 159 from 160 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 10 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2997.5283
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 100 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2997.528301
Deduct 53 from 100 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
53 goes into 470 8 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2997.5283018
If we subtract 424 from 470, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
53 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2997.52830188
Subtract 424 from 460 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2997.52830188, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
