We're dividing 174236 by 54 
Our goal is to divide 174236 by 54.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
54 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 54

Step 3:
If we divide 174 by 54, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 162 from 174.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 122 / 54

Advancing to step 4:
54 can be fit into 122 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 108 from 122 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 143 / 54

Moving on to step 5:
54 can be fit into 143 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 322.0
If we take 108 away from 143, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 356 / 54

Advancing to step 6:
54 goes into 356 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3226.0
Subtract 324 from 356 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
320 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3226.5
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 270 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 54, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3226.59
Subtracting 486 from 500 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
140 divided by 54 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3226.592
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 108 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
54 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3226.5925
Subtract 270 from 320 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 500 by 54, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3226.59259
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 486 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 140 by 54, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3226.592592
If we subtract 108 from 140, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
54 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3226.5925925
If we subtract 270 from 320, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 54 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3226.59259259
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 486 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3226.59259259 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
