We're dividing 54540 by 74 
We want to divide 54540 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
54 divided by 74 is 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.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 545 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 545 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 518 from 545.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 274 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 goes into 274 3 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtract 222 from 274 to get 52.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 520 / 74

Step 5:
520 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 737.0
Subtract 518 from 520 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 737.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 737.02
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 148 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 520 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 737.027
Deduct 518 from 520 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 20 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 737.027
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 737.02702
Deduct 148 from 200 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
74 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 737.027027
Deduct 518 from 520 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 737.027027
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 737.02702702
Deduct 148 from 200 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 737.02702702 with a remaining 5.2e-08.
