We look at the division of 17044523 by 540 
We want to figure out the number of times 17044523 can be divided by 540.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 540, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 540

Step 2:
540 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 170 / 540

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 170 by 540, we get 0 with a remainder of 170.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 170 leaves us with 170.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 170, then repeat: 1704 / 540

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 1704 by 540, we get 3 and a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 1620 from 1704.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 844 / 540

Going ahead to step 5:
540 goes into 844 1 times with a remainder of 304.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 540 from 844 leaves us with 304.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 304 and continue: 3045 / 540

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 3045 by 540, we get 5 with a remainder of 345.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 315.0
If we subtract 2700 from 3045, we get 345.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 345 and repeat the process: 3452 / 540

Moving on to step 7:
3452 divided by 540 is 6 with a remainder of 212.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3156.0
If we take 3240 away from 3452, we end up with 212.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 212, then carry on: 2123 / 540

Going ahead to step 8:
540 goes into 2123 3 times with a remainder of 503.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31563.0
Subtracting 1620 from 2123 leaves us with 503.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5030, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
540 goes into 5030 9 times with a remainder of 170.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31563.9
Deduct 4860 from 5030 and we're left with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
540 goes into 1700 3 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31563.93
If we subtract 1620 from 1700, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
540 goes into 800 1 times with a remainder of 260.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31563.931
The remainder is 260 after subtracting 540 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 2600 by 540, we get 4 and a remainder of 440.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31563.9314
The remainder is 440 after subtracting 2160 from 2600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
4400 divided by 540 is 8 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31563.93148
Subtract 4320 from 4400 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 800 by 540, we get 1 and a remainder of 260.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31563.931481
Subtracting 540 from 800 leaves us with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
2600 divided by 540 is 4 with a remainder of 440.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31563.9314814
Subtract 2160 from 2600 to get 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 4400 by 540, we get 8 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 31563.93148148
Subtract 4320 from 4400 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 31563.93148148 and a remainder of 8e-08.
