We're dividing 74882 by 53 
We want to divide 74882 by 53.

On to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 53 from 74.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 218 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 212 from 218, we get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 68 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 53 from 68.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 53

Step 5:
152 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1412.0
If we subtract 106 from 152, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1412.8
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 424 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
53 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1412.86
Subtract 318 from 360 to get 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 8:
If we divide 420 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 49.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1412.867
If we take 371 away from 420, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 53 fits into 490 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1412.8679
Subtract 477 from 490 to 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 10:
53 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1412.86792
Subtracting 106 from 130 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1412.867924
If we subtract 212 from 240, we get 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 12:
When dividing 280 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1412.8679245
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 265 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
53 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1412.86792452
Subtracting 106 from 150 leaves us 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 1412.86792452, with a leftover of 4.4e-08.
