We divide 473997 by 53
Our goal is to divide 473997 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 473 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
473 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 49.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 424 from 473, we get 49.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 499 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 499 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 477 from 499 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 53

On to step 5:
If we divide 229 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 894.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 212 from 229.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 177 / 53

Step 6:
53 can be fit into 177 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8943.0
If we subtract 159 from 177, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
180 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8943.3
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 159 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 210 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8943.33
Subtracting 159 from 210 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8943.33 and a remainder of 0.051.
