973497 divided by 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 973497.

Going ahead to step 1:
53 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 53

Step 2:
The number 53 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 53 from 97.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 443 / 53

On to step 3:
If we divide 443 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 424 from 443, we get 19.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 194 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
194 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtract 159 from 194 to get 35.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 359 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1836.0
If we take 318 away from 359, we end up with 41.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 417 / 53

Step 6:
53 can be fit into 417 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18367.0
Deduct 371 from 417 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
460 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18367.8
Deduct 424 from 460 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
53 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18367.86
Subtracting 318 from 360 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
420 divided by 53 is 7 with a remainder of 49.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18367.867
Subtracting 371 from 420 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 490 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18367.8679
If we subtract 477 from 490, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
53 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18367.86792
Deduct 106 from 130 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18367.867924
Deduct 212 from 240 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
53 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18367.8679245
Subtracting 265 from 280 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 150 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18367.86792452
If we take 106 away from 150, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 18367.86792452, with a leftover of 4.4e-08.
