Let's divide 52742 by 54
We want to divide 52742 by 54.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 54

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 52.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 52 and we're left with 52.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 527 / 54

Moving on to step 3:
54 goes into 527 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 486 from 527 and we're left with 41.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 414 / 54

Moving on to step 4:
54 goes into 414 7 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 97.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 378 from 414.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 54

Advancing to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 362 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 976.0
Subtract 324 from 362 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 54 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 976.7
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
54 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 976.7
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 54, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 976.703
Subtract 162 from 200 to get 38.
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 9:
380 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 976.7037
Subtracting 378 from 380 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
54 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 976.7037
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
54 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 976.703703
If we subtract 162 from 200, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 976.7037037
Subtracting 378 from 380 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 976.7037037
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 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 976.7037037 with a remaining 2e-08.
