We divide 240277 by 54
Our goal is to divide 240277 by 54.

Step 1:
The number 54 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 54

On to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 54

Step 3:
If we divide 240 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 54

Step 4:
54 goes into 242 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 216 from 242.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 267 / 54

On to step 5:
If we divide 267 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 444.0
Deduct 216 from 267 and we're left with 51.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 517 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
54 can be fit into 517 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4449.0
Subtract 486 from 517 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
54 can be fit into 310 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4449.5
Deduct 270 from 310 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 400 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4449.57
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4449.574
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
54 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4449.574
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4449.57407
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
54 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4449.574074
If we subtract 216 from 220, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4449.574074
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 54 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4449.57407407
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 4449.57407407 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
