We're dividing 262381 by 54 
Our goal is to divide 262381 by 54.

On to step 1:
54 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 54 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 262 / 54

On to step 3:
If we divide 262 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 216 away from 262, we end up with 46.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 463 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
463 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 31.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 432 from 463.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 54

On to step 5:
54 goes into 318 5 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 485.0
If we take 270 away from 318, we end up with 48.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 481 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 54 fits into 481 8 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4858.0
Deduct 432 from 481 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
490 divided by 54 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4858.9
If we subtract 486 from 490, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
54 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4858.9
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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 9:
The number 54 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4858.907
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
220 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4858.9074
Subtract 216 from 220 to 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 11:
If we divide 40 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4858.9074
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4858.907407
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
54 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4858.9074074
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.

On to step 14:
The number 54 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4858.9074074
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

The final outcome is 4858.9074074, with a leftover of 4e-08.
