118977 ÷ 53 
We want to divide 118977 by 53.

Moving on to step 1:
53 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 53

Advancing to step 2:
11 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 53

On to step 3:
118 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 106 from 118.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 129 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 106 away from 129, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 237 / 53

Advancing to step 5:
237 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 224.0
Deduct 212 from 237 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 53

Going ahead to step 6:
53 can be fit into 257 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2244.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 212 from 257.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 53 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2244.8
If we subtract 424 from 450, we get 26.
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 8:
260 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2244.84
Subtracting 212 from 260 leaves us with 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 9:
480 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2244.849
Deduct 477 from 480 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 30 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2244.849
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
300 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2244.84905
Subtract 265 from 300 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
350 divided by 53 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2244.849056
If we take 318 away from 350, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
53 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2244.8490566
Subtracting 318 from 320 leaves us 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 2244.8490566 with a balance of 2e-08.
