Let's divide 272043 by 54
We want to divide 272043 by 54.

Step 1:
54 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 54

Moving on to step 3:
272 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 270 away from 272, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 54

Step 4:
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: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 204 by 54, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 503.0
If we take 162 away from 204, we end up with 42.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 423 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 423 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5037.0
Deduct 378 from 423 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
54 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.8
Subtract 432 from 450 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
54 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5037.83
If we take 162 away from 180, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
180 divided by 54 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5037.833
Subtracting 162 from 180 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 5037.833 with a remainder of 0.0018.
