We divide 987894 by 53
Let's see how many times 53 fits into 987894.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 53

On to step 2:
98 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 53 from 98 and we're left with 45.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 457 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 457 8 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 424 from 457.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 338 / 53

Step 4:
53 can be fit into 338 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 186.0
Subtract 318 from 338 to get 20.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 209 / 53

On to step 5:
53 goes into 209 3 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1863.0
Subtracting 159 from 209 leaves us with 50.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 504 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 504 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18639.0
If we subtract 477 from 504, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
53 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18639.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 265 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
53 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18639.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18639.509
If we take 477 away from 500, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 230 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18639.5094
Subtracting 212 from 230 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
53 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18639.50943
Deduct 159 from 180 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 18639.509433
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 159 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18639.509433, with a leftover of 5.1e-06.
