We're dividing 73478750 by 53 
We're looking to find how many times 53 goes into 73478750.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
53 can be fit into 73 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 53 from 73, we get 20.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 53

Moving on to step 3:
53 can be fit into 204 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 159 from 204 to get 45.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 457 / 53

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 457 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 33.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138.0
Subtract 424 from 457 to get 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 338 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1386.0
Deduct 318 from 338 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
207 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 48.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13863.0
Subtract 159 from 207 to get 48.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 485 / 53

Moving on to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 485 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 138639.0
If we take 477 away from 485, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 80 / 53

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 53 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1386391.0
If we take 53 away from 80, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 270 by 53, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1386391.5
If we take 265 away from 270, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1386391.5
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 500 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1386391.509
Deduct 477 from 500 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 12:
230 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1386391.5094
If we take 212 away from 230, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
180 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1386391.50943
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 159 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 53 fits into 210 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1386391.509433
If we subtract 159 from 210, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1386391.509433 with a remaining 5.1e-06.
