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.

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.
