76984 divided by 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 76984.

On to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 can be fit into 76 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 53 from 76 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
239 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 212 away from 239, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
278 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 145.0
If we take 265 away from 278, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 134 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
53 goes into 134 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1452.0
Deduct 106 from 134 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 6:
53 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1452.5
Subtract 265 from 280 to 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1452.52
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 8:
When dividing 440 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1452.528
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 424 from 440.
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 9:
The number 53 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1452.5283
Subtract 159 from 160 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 10 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1452.5283
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
100 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1452.528301
Subtracting 53 from 100 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
470 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1452.5283018
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 424 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 460 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1452.52830188
If we take 424 away from 460, we end up 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.

Our division results in 1452.52830188 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
