997996 ÷ 53 
We want to figure out the number of times 997996 can be divided by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
53 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 99 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 53 from 99.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 467 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 467 8 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 424 from 467 to get 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
53 can be fit into 439 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
Subtract 424 from 439 to get 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 53

On to step 5:
If we divide 159 by 53, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1883.0
If we take 159 away from 159, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 53

Step 6:
6 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18830.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
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 7:
If we divide 60 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18830.1
Subtracting 53 from 60 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
53 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18830.11
If we subtract 53 from 70, we get 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 final outcome is 18830.11, with a leftover of 0.017.
