Let's divide 397983 by 53
Let's see how many times 53 fits into 397983.

Step 1:
53 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 39 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 397 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
53 goes into 397 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 371 from 397, we get 26.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
269 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 265 from 269.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
53 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 750.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 483 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 483 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7509.0
If we subtract 477 from 483, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
53 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7509.1
Subtracting 53 from 60 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 70 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7509.11
Subtracting 53 from 70 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7509.11 with a balance of 0.017.
