Let's divide 54879159 by 256
Our goal is to divide 54879159 by 256.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 256, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 256

Moving on to step 2:
54 divided by 256 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 548 / 256

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 256 fits into 548 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 512 from 548.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 367 / 256

Going ahead to step 4:
367 divided by 256 is 1 with a remainder of 111.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 111 after subtracting 256 from 367.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 111 and continue: 1119 / 256

Moving on to step 5:
256 goes into 1119 4 times with a remainder of 95.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we subtract 1024 from 1119, we get 95.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 95 and continue: 951 / 256

On to step 6:
256 goes into 951 3 times with a remainder of 183.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2143.0
If we subtract 768 from 951, we get 183.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 183 and repeat the process: 1835 / 256

On to step 7:
When dividing 1835 by 256, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21437.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 1792 from 1835.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 256

Let's proceed to step 8:
256 can be fit into 439 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 183.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 214371.0
Subtract 256 from 439 to get 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 1830 by 256, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214371.7
If we subtract 1792 from 1830, 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.

On to step 10:
The number 256 fits into 380 1 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 214371.71
Subtract 256 from 380 to get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
256 can be fit into 1240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 216.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 214371.714
Subtract 1024 from 1240 to get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 2160 by 256, we get 8 with a remainder of 112.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214371.7148
If we take 2048 away from 2160, we end up with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
256 can be fit into 1120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 214371.71484
Deduct 1024 from 1120 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 256 fits into 960 3 times, leaving a remainder of 192.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214371.714843
Subtracting 768 from 960 leaves us with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 256 fits into 1920 7 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 214371.7148437
Subtracting 1792 from 1920 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
256 can be fit into 1280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214371.71484375
Subtracting 1280 from 1280 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.

Our division results in 214371.71484375 with a remaining 0.0.
