Let's divide 71875 by 54
We want to divide 71875 by 54.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 54 from 71 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 54

Going ahead to step 3:
54 goes into 178 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 162 from 178 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 167 by 54, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 133.0
Deduct 162 from 167 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 54

Step 5:
When dividing 55 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1331.0
Subtract 54 from 55 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
54 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1331.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 7:
54 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1331.01
If we take 54 away from 100, we end up 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.

Step 8:
54 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1331.018
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1331.0185
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 54 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1331.01851
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.

Step 11:
460 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1331.018518
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
280 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1331.0185185
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
54 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1331.01851851
Subtracting 54 from 100 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 1331.01851851, with a leftover of 4.6e-08.
