We're dividing 54340880 by 973 
We want to divide 54340880 by 973.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 973 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 973

Going ahead to step 2:
973 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 543 / 973

Let's proceed to step 3:
543 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 543.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 543 leaves us with 543.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 543 and continue: 5434 / 973

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 5434 by 973, we get 5 and a remainder of 569.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 4865 from 5434 to get 569.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 569 and continue: 5690 / 973

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 5690 by 973, we get 5 and a remainder of 825.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 4865 from 5690 and we're left with 825.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 825, then repeat: 8258 / 973

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 973 fits into 8258 8 times, leaving a remainder of 474.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 558.0
Subtract 7784 from 8258 to get 474.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 474 and repeat the process: 4748 / 973

Advancing to step 7:
4748 divided by 973 is 4 with a remainder of 856.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5584.0
Subtracting 3892 from 4748 leaves us with 856.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 856 and repeat the process: 8560 / 973

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 8560 by 973, we get 8 and a remainder of 776.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55848.0
The remainder is 776 after subtracting 7784 from 8560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 7760 by 973, we get 7 and a remainder of 949.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55848.7
The remainder is 949 after subtracting 6811 from 7760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
9490 divided by 973 is 9 with a remainder of 733.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 55848.79
Subtract 8757 from 9490 to get 733.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
973 goes into 7330 7 times with a remainder of 519.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55848.797
Subtracting 6811 from 7330 leaves us with 519.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
973 can be fit into 5190 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 325.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55848.7975
Subtracting 4865 from 5190 leaves us with 325.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 973 fits into 3250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 331.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55848.79753
The remainder is 331 after subtracting 2919 from 3250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
3310 divided by 973 is 3 with a remainder of 391.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55848.797533
Subtract 2919 from 3310 to get 391.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3910, and continue the process.

Our division results in 55848.797533 with a remaining 3.91e-05.
