We're dividing 540887 by 15 
We want to figure out the number of times 540887 can be divided by 15.

Let's proceed to step 1:
15 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 15

Going ahead to step 2:
15 goes into 54 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 45 from 54 to get 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 15

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 90 by 15, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 90 from 90, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 15

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 8 by 15, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 360.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 15

Let's proceed to step 5:
88 divided by 15 is 5 with a remainder of 13.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3605.0
Deduct 75 from 88 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 15

Advancing to step 6:
15 can be fit into 137 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36059.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 135 from 137.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
20 divided by 15 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36059.1
Deduct 15 from 20 and we're left 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 8:
When dividing 50 by 15, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 36059.13
If we subtract 45 from 50, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
50 divided by 15 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36059.133
If we subtract 45 from 50, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 36059.133 with a remaining 0.0005.
