We divide 406949 by 53
Our goal is to divide 406949 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
53 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 53

Step 3:
When dividing 406 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 371 from 406 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 53

Step 4:
359 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 41.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we subtract 318 from 359, we get 41.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 414 / 53

Step 5:
The number 53 fits into 414 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 767.0
Subtracting 371 from 414 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 439 / 53

On to step 6:
53 can be fit into 439 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7678.0
If we subtract 424 from 439, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
53 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7678.2
Subtracting 106 from 150 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
The number 53 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7678.28
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 424 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7678.283
Deduct 159 from 160 and we're left with 1.
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 10:
53 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7678.283
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
100 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7678.28301
If we take 53 away from 100, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 470 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7678.283018
Subtract 424 from 470 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 53 fits into 460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7678.2830188
If we take 424 away from 460, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7678.2830188 with a remaining 3.6e-07.
