Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 540, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 540

Let's proceed to step 2:
540 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 424 / 540

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 540 fits into 424 0 times, leaving a remainder of 424.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0

The number 540 fits into 4248 7 times, leaving a remainder of 468.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 3780 from 4248 to get 468.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 468 and continue: 4686 / 540

Moving on to step 5:
540 can be fit into 4686 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 366.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
Subtracting 4320 from 4686 leaves us with 366.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 366 and continue with: 3669 / 540

Let's proceed to step 6:
540 goes into 3669 6 times with a remainder of 429.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 786.0
If we take 3240 away from 3669, we end up with 429.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 429 and continue: 4294 / 540

Step 7:
The number 540 fits into 4294 7 times, leaving a remainder of 514.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7867.0
Subtract 3780 from 4294 to get 514.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 514, then carry on: 5147 / 540

Step 8:
540 can be fit into 5147 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 287.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78679.0
If we take 4860 away from 5147, we end up with 287.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2870, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
540 can be fit into 2870 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 170.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78679.5
If we take 2700 away from 2870, we end up with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
540 goes into 1700 3 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78679.53
Subtract 1620 from 1700 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 800 by 540, we get 1 with a remainder of 260.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78679.531
Subtract 540 from 800 to get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
2600 divided by 540 is 4 with a remainder of 440.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 78679.5314
The remainder is 440 after subtracting 2160 from 2600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 540 fits into 4400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78679.53148
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 4320 from 4400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
800 divided by 540 is 1 with a remainder of 260.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78679.531481
Deduct 540 from 800 and we're left with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
540 can be fit into 2600 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 440.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78679.5314814
If we take 2160 away from 2600, we end up with 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
If we divide 4400 by 540, we get 8 and a remainder of 80.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78679.53148148
Subtracting 4320 from 4400 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

The final result is 78679.53148148 with a remainder of 8e-08.
