Let's divide 308858 by 54
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 308858.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 54

On to step 2:
When dividing 30 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 54

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 308 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 270 from 308 leaves us with 38.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 388 / 54

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 388 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 378 from 388.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 105 / 54

Advancing to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 105 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 571.0
If we take 54 away from 105, we end up with 51.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 518 / 54

Moving on to step 6:
54 goes into 518 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5719.0
If we subtract 486 from 518, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
320 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5719.5
If we take 270 away from 320, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 54, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5719.59
If we subtract 486 from 500, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
140 divided by 54 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5719.592
If we subtract 108 from 140, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5719.5925
If we take 270 away from 320, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
54 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5719.59259
Deduct 486 from 500 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 54, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5719.592592
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 108 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5719.5925925
Subtracting 270 from 320 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
54 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5719.59259259
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 486 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5719.59259259, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
