Let's divide 837871 by 54
Our goal is to divide 837871 by 54.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 54

Step 2:
The number 54 fits into 83 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 54 from 83.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 54

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 297 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 270 from 297 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 54

Step 4:
The number 54 fits into 278 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
Deduct 270 from 278 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1551.0
Subtracting 54 from 87 leaves us with 33.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 331 / 54

On to step 6:
When dividing 331 by 54, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15516.0
Deduct 324 from 331 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
54 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15516.1
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 54 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 54 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15516.12
Subtracting 108 from 160 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
520 divided by 54 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15516.129
Deduct 486 from 520 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
340 divided by 54 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15516.1296
Subtract 324 from 340 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 54 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15516.12962
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 108 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
54 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15516.129629
If we subtract 486 from 520, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
54 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15516.1296296
Subtracting 324 from 340 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
54 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15516.12962962
If we take 108 away from 160, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 15516.12962962 and a remainder of 5.2e-08.
