We divide 78531 by 53
Our goal is to divide 78531 by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 53

Step 2:
53 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 78, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
53 goes into 255 4 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 212 from 255 to get 43.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 433 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
53 can be fit into 433 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.0
Deduct 424 from 433 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 91 / 53

Step 5:
91 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1481.0
If we take 53 away from 91, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1481.7
Subtracting 371 from 380 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
90 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1481.71
If we take 53 away from 90, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 370 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1481.716
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 318 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 520 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1481.7169
Subtract 477 from 520 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
53 can be fit into 430 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1481.71698
Subtracting 424 from 430 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1481.716981
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 70 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1481.7169811
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1481.7169811 with a balance of 1.7e-07.
