Let's divide 404956 by 54
We want to divide 404956 by 54.

On to step 1:
54 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 54

Step 2:
40 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 404 / 54

Advancing to step 3:
54 goes into 404 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 378 from 404, we get 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 54

Advancing to step 4:
54 goes into 269 4 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 216 away from 269, we end up with 53.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 535 / 54

On to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 535 9 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 749.0
Subtract 486 from 535 to get 49.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 496 / 54

Advancing to step 6:
496 divided by 54 is 9 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7499.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 486 from 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 54 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7499.1
Deduct 54 from 100 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 54, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7499.18
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7499.185
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 270 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7499.1851
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 54 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
54 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7499.18518
If we subtract 432 from 460, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
54 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7499.185185
Deduct 270 from 280 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 54, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7499.1851851
If we subtract 54 from 100, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 54 fits into 460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7499.18518518
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 7499.18518518 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
