We divide 278090 by 54
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 278090.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
54 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 54

On to step 3:
54 goes into 278 5 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 270 from 278 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 80 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
80 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 54 from 80, we get 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
54 can be fit into 269 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 514.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 216 from 269.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 530 / 54

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 530 by 54, we get 9 and a remainder of 44.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5149.0
If we subtract 486 from 530, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 54 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5149.8
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 54, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5149.81
Deduct 54 from 80 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5149.814
Deduct 216 from 260 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 54 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5149.8148
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
80 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5149.81481
Subtracting 54 from 80 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 260 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5149.814814
If we take 216 away from 260, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
54 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5149.8148148
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
80 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5149.81481481
Deduct 54 from 80 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5149.81481481 and a remainder of 2.6e-08.
