Let's divide 218938 by 54
We want to figure out the number of times 218938 can be divided by 54.

Going ahead to step 1:
54 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 54

Step 3:
The number 54 fits into 218 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 216 from 218.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 54

Going ahead to step 4:
54 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 293 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 293 by 54, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 405.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 270 from 293.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
54 goes into 238 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4054.0
Subtract 216 from 238 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
54 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4054.4
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
40 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4054.4
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
54 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4054.407
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 220 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4054.4074
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
40 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4054.4074
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 54 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4054.407407
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
220 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4054.4074074
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 40 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4054.4074074
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 4054.4074074 with a remainder of 4e-08.
