You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Dividend is 53.000000000000... .

Setup your long division form and put the decimal point directly above where you find it in the dividend.

53/50936? 0.
530/50936? 0.
5300/50936? 0.
53000/50936? 1.
53000-1*50936=2064.
Use the next digit from the dividend, a 0.
-
20640/50936? 0.
Bring down the next digit from the dividend.
206400/50936? 4.
206400-4*50936=2656
-
Just continue the process until either done, or until you have enough decimal places that you need.
