We divide 408431 by 53
Our goal is to divide 408431 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 53

On to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 408 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 408 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 371 from 408, we get 37.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 374 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 374 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
Deduct 371 from 374 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 53

Step 5:
53 can be fit into 33 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 770.0
If we take 0 away from 33, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 331 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
53 can be fit into 331 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7706.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 318 from 331.
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:
53 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7706.2
If we subtract 106 from 130, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
53 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7706.24
Subtracting 212 from 240 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 7706.245
If we subtract 265 from 280, 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.

Step 10:
53 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7706.2452
Subtract 106 from 150 to get 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 11:
53 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7706.24528
Subtract 424 from 440 to get 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 12:
The number 53 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7706.245283
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
53 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7706.245283
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 53 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7706.24528301
Subtract 53 from 100 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7706.24528301 with a balance of 4.7e-08.
