We're dividing 540421 by 49 
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 540421.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 49

Step 2:
When dividing 54 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 49 from 54 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
49 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 49 from 50, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 49

Step 4:
When dividing 14 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 110.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 142 / 49

Going ahead to step 5:
49 can be fit into 142 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1102.0
If we subtract 98 from 142, we get 44.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 441 / 49

Going ahead to step 6:
49 can be fit into 441 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11029.0
Subtracting 441 from 441 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 49 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11029.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 49 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11029.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11029.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
