We're dividing 87679 by 53 
We want to divide 87679 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
53 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 53 from 87 to get 34.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 346 / 53

On to step 3:
53 can be fit into 346 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 318 from 346 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 287 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165.0
Deduct 265 from 287 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
229 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1654.0
Subtract 212 from 229 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 6:
170 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1654.3
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 159 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 53 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1654.32
Subtract 106 from 110 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
40 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1654.32
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1654.3207
Subtract 371 from 400 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
290 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1654.32075
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 265 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1654.320754
Subtracting 212 from 250 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1654.3207547
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 371 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 90 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1654.32075471
Subtracting 53 from 90 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

The final result is 1654.32075471 with a remainder of 3.7e-08.
