Let's divide 157342 by 54
We want to figure out the number of times 157342 can be divided by 54.

On to step 1:
54 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
54 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 54

Step 3:
157 divided by 54 is 2 with a remainder of 49.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 108 from 157.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 493 / 54

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 493 by 54, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 486 from 493 to get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 54

Moving on to step 5:
74 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtract 54 from 74 to get 20.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 202 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 202 by 54, we get 3 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2913.0
Subtracting 162 from 202 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
400 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2913.7
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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 8:
The number 54 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2913.74
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 9:
The number 54 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2913.74
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 10:
54 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2913.7407
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
220 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2913.74074
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
54 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2913.74074
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2913.7407407
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 220 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2913.74074074
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 2913.74074074 with a remaining 4e-09.
