Let's divide 436904 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 436904 can be divided by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 53

On to step 2:
43 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 43.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 43 to get 43.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 436 / 53

On to step 3:
436 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 424 from 436.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 129 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 106 from 129, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
53 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 824.0
Subtracting 212 from 230 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 184 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 184 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8243.0
If we take 159 away from 184, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8243.4
If we take 212 away from 250, we end up 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 8:
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: 8243.47
Deduct 371 from 380 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
53 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8243.471
Subtract 53 from 90 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 370 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8243.4716
Subtract 318 from 370 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 520 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8243.47169
If we subtract 477 from 520, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 430 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8243.471698
Subtract 424 from 430 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 53 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8243.4716981
Subtract 53 from 60 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
53 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8243.47169811
Deduct 53 from 70 and we're left 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.

The final result is 8243.47169811 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
