We divide 54755980 by 542
We want to divide 54755980 by 542.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 542 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 542

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 542, we get 0 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 542

On to step 3:
542 goes into 547 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 542 from 547, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 542

Moving on to step 4:
542 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 555 / 542

Step 5:
When dividing 555 by 542, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 101.0
If we take 542 away from 555, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 139 / 542

Advancing to step 6:
542 can be fit into 139 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 139.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1010.0
Deduct 0 from 139 and we're left with 139.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 139 and continue with: 1398 / 542

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1398 by 542, we get 2 with a remainder of 314.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10102.0
Subtract 1084 from 1398 to get 314.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 314 and continue: 3140 / 542

Advancing to step 8:
3140 divided by 542 is 5 with a remainder of 430.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 101025.0
The remainder is 430 after subtracting 2710 from 3140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 542 fits into 4300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 506.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 101025.7
Subtracting 3794 from 4300 leaves us with 506.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
5060 divided by 542 is 9 with a remainder of 182.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 101025.79
If we subtract 4878 from 5060, we get 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 1820 by 542, we get 3 and a remainder of 194.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 101025.793
If we take 1626 away from 1820, we end up with 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

Step 12:
542 can be fit into 1940 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 314.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 101025.7933
Subtracting 1626 from 1940 leaves us with 314.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 101025.7933 with a remaining 0.00314.
