Let's divide 68588 by 53
Our goal is to divide 68588 by 53.

On to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 53 from 68.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 155 / 53

On to step 3:
When dividing 155 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 106 from 155.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 498 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
498 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 477 from 498.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
218 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1294.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 212 from 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 60 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1294.1
Subtract 53 from 60 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1294.11
Subtracting 53 from 70 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1294.11, and the remainder is 0.017.
