97989 ÷ 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 97989.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 53 away from 97, we end up with 44.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 449 / 53

Step 3:
When dividing 449 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 424 away from 449, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 258 / 53

Step 4:
If we divide 258 by 53, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 184.0
Subtract 212 from 258 to get 46.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 469 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 469 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 45.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1848.0
If we subtract 424 from 469, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1848.8
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 424 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1848.84
Subtract 212 from 260 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1848.849
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 477 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
30 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1848.849
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
53 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1848.84905
Deduct 265 from 300 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1848.849056
Subtract 318 from 350 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
53 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1848.8490566
Deduct 318 from 320 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1848.8490566 with a balance of 2e-08.
