We're dividing 5901 by 53 
Let's see how many times 53 fits into 5901.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
59 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 59, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 53

On to step 3:
When dividing 60 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
71 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtract 53 from 71 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 180 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 111.3
Subtracting 159 from 180 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 210 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111.33
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 159 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The final result is 111.33 with a remainder of 0.051.
