We're dividing 542840 by 211 
We're looking to find how many times 211 goes into 542840.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 211 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 211

Step 2:
54 divided by 211 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 542 / 211

Step 3:
542 divided by 211 is 2 with a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 422 from 542 leaves us with 120.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 120 and continue: 1208 / 211

Going ahead to step 4:
211 goes into 1208 5 times with a remainder of 153.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 153 after subtracting 1055 from 1208.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 153, then carry on: 1534 / 211

On to step 5:
When dividing 1534 by 211, we get 7 with a remainder of 57.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 257.0
Subtract 1477 from 1534 to get 57.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 570 / 211

Advancing to step 6:
570 divided by 211 is 2 with a remainder of 148.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2572.0
Subtract 422 from 570 to get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 1480 by 211, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2572.7
If we subtract 1477 from 1480, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
30 divided by 211 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2572.7
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
211 can be fit into 300 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 89.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2572.701
If we subtract 211 from 300, we get 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
890 divided by 211 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2572.7014
If we subtract 844 from 890, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 460 by 211, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2572.70142
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 422 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
211 can be fit into 380 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 169.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2572.701421
Deduct 211 from 380 and we're left with 169.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 211 fits into 1690 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2572.7014218
Subtracting 1688 from 1690 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 211 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2572.7014218
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2572.7014218 with a remaining 2e-08.
