We look at the division of 54686 by 7 
Our goal is to divide 54686 by 7.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 7 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 7

Let's proceed to step 2:
7 goes into 54 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 49 from 54.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 7

Step 3:
The number 7 fits into 56 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we subtract 56 from 56, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 7

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 8 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 781.0
If we take 7 away from 8, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 7

Let's proceed to step 5:
7 can be fit into 16 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7812.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 14 from 16.
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 6:
The number 7 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7812.2
If we take 14 away from 20, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7812.28
If we subtract 56 from 60, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 7, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7812.285
If we take 35 away from 40, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
50 divided by 7 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7812.2857
Deduct 49 from 50 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
10 divided by 7 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7812.28571
If we take 7 away from 10, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 7 fits into 30 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7812.285714
If we subtract 28 from 30, 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
7 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7812.2857142
Subtracting 14 from 20 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
7 can be fit into 60 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7812.28571428
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 56 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7812.28571428, and the remainder is 4e-09.
