We divide 159653 by 52
We want to divide 159653 by 52.

Moving on to step 1:
52 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 52

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 159 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 156 from 159, we get 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 52

Step 4:
36 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 365 / 52

On to step 5:
The number 52 fits into 365 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 307.0
If we subtract 364 from 365, we get 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 52 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3070.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
52 can be fit into 130 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3070.2
If we subtract 104 from 130, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 52 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3070.25
Deduct 260 from 260 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3070.25
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
0 divided by 52 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3070.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3070.25 and a remainder of 0.0.
