We divide 115831 by 53
Our goal is to divide 115831 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
53 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 53

On to step 2:
11 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 115 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
53 can be fit into 115 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 106 away from 115, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 53

On to step 4:
98 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 53 away from 98, we end up with 45.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 453 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 453 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 29.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 218.0
Subtracting 424 from 453 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 291 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
53 goes into 291 5 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2185.0
Deduct 265 from 291 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2185.4
Subtracting 212 from 260 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
480 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2185.49
If we take 477 away from 480, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
53 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2185.49
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
53 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2185.4905
If we subtract 265 from 300, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
53 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2185.49056
Subtracting 318 from 350 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
53 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2185.490566
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.

Our division results in 2185.490566 with a remaining 2e-07.
