We're dividing 242771 by 53 
Let's see how many times 53 fits into 242771.

Advancing to step 1:
53 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 53

On to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 242 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 212 from 242 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 307 / 53

Step 4:
53 can be fit into 307 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we take 265 away from 307, we end up with 42.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 427 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
53 can be fit into 427 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 458.0
Subtract 424 from 427 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
53 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4580.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4580.5
If we take 265 away from 310, we end up with 45.
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 8:
The number 53 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4580.58
Subtract 424 from 450 to 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.

Step 9:
53 goes into 260 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4580.584
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 10:
53 goes into 480 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4580.5849
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 30 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4580.5849
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
53 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4580.584905
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 350 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4580.5849056
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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4580.58490566
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 318 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4580.58490566 with a remaining 2e-09.
