Let's divide 216281 by 53
We want to divide 216281 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 216 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
53 can be fit into 216 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 212 away from 216, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 53

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 42 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 428 / 53

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 428 by 53, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we subtract 424 from 428, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 53

On to step 6:
The number 53 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4080.0
Subtract 0 from 41 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 53 fits into 410 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4080.7
If we subtract 371 from 410, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 390 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4080.77
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 371 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4080.77 with a remaining 0.019.
