12865 divided by 53 
We want to divide 12865 by 53.

Let's proceed 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
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 53

Let's proceed to step 3:
128 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 106 from 128 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 53

Going ahead to step 4:
226 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 212 from 226.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 145 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 145 by 53, we get 2 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 242.0
Subtracting 106 from 145 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 390 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 242.7
Subtract 371 from 390 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
53 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 242.73
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 159 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
310 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 242.735
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 265 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
53 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242.7358
Subtracting 424 from 450 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 242.73584
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 11:
53 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242.735849
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 30 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 242.735849
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
53 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 242.73584905
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.

The final outcome is 242.73584905, with a leftover of 3.5e-08.
