Step-by-step solution (long division)

Step 1

Look at the first digit(s) of the dividend: 53. Divide: 17 goes into 53 3 times (17 × 3 = 51). Write 3 above, then subtract: 53 − 51 = 2.

Step 2

Bring down the 8 to make 28. Divide: 17 goes into 28 1 time (17 × 1 = 17). Write 1 above, then subtract: 28 − 17 = 11.

There are no more digits to bring down. So 538 ÷ 17 = 31 with remainder 11. The remainder can also be written as the fraction 11/17, so 538 ÷ 17 = 31 11/17.
