255497 ÷ 54 
Our goal is to divide 255497 by 54.

Advancing to step 1:
54 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 54

Advancing to step 2:
54 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 54

Moving on to step 3:
54 can be fit into 255 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 216 from 255 leaves us with 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 54

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 394 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 378 from 394.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 54

On to step 5:
If we divide 169 by 54, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 473.0
Subtracting 162 from 169 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 54

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 77 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4731.0
Subtracting 54 from 77 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 54 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4731.4
If we take 216 away from 230, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 54 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4731.42
If we take 108 away from 140, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 54 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4731.425
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 270 from 320.
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 10:
The number 54 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4731.4259
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 54, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4731.42592
Subtracting 108 from 140 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
54 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4731.425925
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 13:
54 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4731.4259259
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 14:
54 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4731.42592592
Deduct 108 from 140 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4731.42592592 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
