We're dividing 542739 by 57 
We want to figure out the number of times 542739 can be divided by 57.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 57 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 57

On to step 2:
54 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 542 / 57

Advancing to step 3:
57 goes into 542 9 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 513 from 542 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 57

Moving on to step 4:
57 can be fit into 297 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 95.0
Subtract 285 from 297 to get 12.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 123 / 57

Step 5:
When dividing 123 by 57, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 952.0
Subtracting 114 from 123 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 57

Advancing to step 6:
57 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9521.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 57 from 99.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
420 divided by 57 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9521.7
Subtract 399 from 420 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
210 divided by 57 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9521.73
Subtracting 171 from 210 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
57 goes into 390 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9521.736
If we subtract 342 from 390, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
57 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9521.7368
If we subtract 456 from 480, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 57 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9521.73684
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
120 divided by 57 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9521.736842
Subtract 114 from 120 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 57, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9521.7368421
Subtract 57 from 60 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 14:
30 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9521.7368421
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final result is 9521.7368421 with a remainder of 3e-08.
