We divide 542440 by 68
We want to divide 542440 by 68.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 68 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 68

Step 2:
If we divide 54 by 68, we get 0 and a remainder of 54.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 68

Advancing to step 3:
68 can be fit into 542 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 476 away from 542, we end up with 66.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 664 / 68

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 664 by 68, we get 9 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtracting 612 from 664 leaves us with 52.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 524 / 68

On to step 5:
The number 68 fits into 524 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 797.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 476 from 524.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 480 / 68

Step 6:
68 can be fit into 480 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7977.0
If we subtract 476 from 480, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 68, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7977.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 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 8:
68 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7977.05
Deduct 340 from 400 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 9:
600 divided by 68 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7977.058
If we take 544 away from 600, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
68 goes into 560 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7977.0588
Subtracting 544 from 560 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7977.0588 and a remainder of 0.00016.
