256887 divided by 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 256887.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 53

On to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 256 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
53 goes into 256 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 212 from 256.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 448 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
53 can be fit into 448 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 424 from 448, we get 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 53

Step 5:
If we divide 248 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 484.0
If we take 212 away from 248, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 367 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
367 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4846.0
Deduct 318 from 367 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
53 goes into 490 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4846.9
Subtract 477 from 490 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 130 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4846.92
Deduct 106 from 130 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4846.924
If we take 212 away from 240, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4846.9245
Subtracting 265 from 280 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
150 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4846.92452
If we take 106 away from 150, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
53 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4846.924528
If we take 424 away from 440, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4846.9245283
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 159 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
53 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4846.9245283
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4846.9245283 with a balance of 1e-08.
