696974 divided by 53 
We want to divide 696974 by 53.

On to step 1:
The number 53 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 69 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 53 from 69 leaves us with 16.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 166 / 53

On to step 3:
166 divided by 53 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 159 from 166.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 79 by 53, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtracting 53 from 79 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 267 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
267 divided by 53 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1315.0
Subtracting 265 from 267 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 53

Moving on to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13150.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
240 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13150.4
Subtract 212 from 240 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
53 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13150.45
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 265 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13150.452
If we subtract 106 from 150, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 53 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13150.4528
Subtracting 424 from 440 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13150.45283
Deduct 159 from 160 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 10 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13150.45283
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 53, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13150.4528301
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 53 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 14:
470 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13150.45283018
If we subtract 424 from 470, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13150.45283018 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
