Let's divide 746231 by 53
Our goal is to divide 746231 by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 74, we get 21.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 216 / 53

Going ahead to step 3:
53 can be fit into 216 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 212 from 216, we get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 53

Step 4:
When dividing 42 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 423 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 423 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1407.0
Subtract 371 from 423 to get 52.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 521 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
521 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14079.0
Subtract 477 from 521 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 7:
When dividing 440 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14079.8
Subtract 424 from 440 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
53 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14079.83
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 159 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 10 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14079.83
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14079.8301
If we subtract 53 from 100, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
470 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14079.83018
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
460 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14079.830188
Deduct 424 from 460 and we're left 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 14079.830188 with a remaining 3.6e-06.
