304742 ÷ 54 
We want to divide 304742 by 54.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 30 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 304 / 54

Step 3:
The number 54 fits into 304 5 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 270 from 304, we get 34.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 347 / 54

Moving on to step 4:
54 goes into 347 6 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 324 from 347.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 234 / 54

Step 5:
54 goes into 234 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 564.0
If we take 216 away from 234, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 182 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
54 can be fit into 182 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5643.0
If we subtract 162 from 182, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
200 divided by 54 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5643.3
Subtracting 162 from 200 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 54 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5643.37
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
20 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5643.37
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
54 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5643.3703
If we take 162 away from 200, we end up with 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 11:
If we divide 380 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5643.37037
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
54 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5643.37037
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 54, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5643.3703703
If we subtract 162 from 200, 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
54 goes into 380 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5643.37037037
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5643.37037037, and the remainder is 2e-09.
