We're dividing 408731 by 54 
Our goal is to divide 408731 by 54.

Going ahead to step 1:
54 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 408 / 54

Going ahead to step 3:
408 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 378 from 408 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 307 / 54

On to step 4:
When dividing 307 by 54, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtracting 270 from 307 leaves us with 37.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 373 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 373 by 54, we get 6 and a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 756.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 324 from 373.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 491 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 54 fits into 491 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7569.0
If we take 486 away from 491, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 50 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7569.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 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 8:
54 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7569.09
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 54, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7569.092
If we take 108 away from 140, we end up with 32.
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:
When dividing 320 by 54, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7569.0925
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 500 by 54, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7569.09259
Deduct 486 from 500 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 54, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7569.092592
Subtract 108 from 140 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
54 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7569.0925925
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.

Advancing to step 14:
54 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7569.09259259
If we subtract 486 from 500, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 7569.09259259 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
