966494 divided by 53 
Our goal is to divide 966494 by 53.

On to step 1:
53 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 53

On to step 2:
If we divide 96 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 53 from 96.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 436 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 436 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 424 from 436 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
53 goes into 124 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 182.0
Subtract 106 from 124 to get 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 189 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1823.0
Subtract 159 from 189 to get 30.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 304 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 304 5 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18235.0
Subtract 265 from 304 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
53 can be fit into 390 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18235.7
Deduct 371 from 390 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 190 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18235.73
If we take 159 away from 190, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 310 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18235.735
If we take 265 away from 310, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
53 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18235.7358
If we take 424 away from 450, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18235.73584
Subtract 212 from 260 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 480 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18235.735849
Subtract 477 from 480 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
30 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18235.735849
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
53 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18235.73584905
If we subtract 265 from 300, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18235.73584905 and a remainder of 3.5e-08.
