Let's divide 359242 by 53
Our goal is to divide 359242 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
53 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 53

On to step 2:
53 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 35, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 359 / 53

Step 3:
If we divide 359 by 53, we get 6 and a remainder of 41.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 318 from 359 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 412 / 53

Advancing to step 4:
53 goes into 412 7 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 67.0
Deduct 371 from 412 and we're left with 41.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 414 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
53 goes into 414 7 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 677.0
Deduct 371 from 414 and we're left with 43.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 432 / 53

Advancing to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 432 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6778.0
If we take 424 away from 432, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
80 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6778.1
If we take 53 away from 80, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
53 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6778.15
If we subtract 265 from 270, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
53 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6778.15
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
500 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6778.1509
Subtract 477 from 500 to get 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 11:
230 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6778.15094
If we take 212 away from 230, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 53 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6778.150943
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 210 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 51.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6778.1509433
Subtract 159 from 210 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6778.1509433 with a balance of 5.1e-07.
