Let's divide 331279 by 53
We want to figure out the number of times 331279 can be divided by 53.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 53

Step 2:
53 can be fit into 33 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 33 and we're left with 33.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 331 / 53

Step 3:
The number 53 fits into 331 6 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 318 from 331.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 132 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
132 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 106 from 132 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
53 can be fit into 267 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 625.0
Subtracting 265 from 267 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
53 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6250.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6250.5
If we take 265 away from 290, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
250 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6250.54
If we subtract 212 from 250, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
53 goes into 380 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6250.547
Subtract 371 from 380 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
53 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6250.5471
If we take 53 away from 90, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 370 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6250.54716
Subtracting 318 from 370 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 520 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6250.547169
Subtracting 477 from 520 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 430 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6250.5471698
If we subtract 424 from 430, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6250.54716981
Deduct 53 from 60 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6250.54716981, and the remainder is 7e-09.
