542962 divided by 54 
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 542962.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 54

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 54, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 54 from 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 54

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 54 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 54

Going ahead to step 4:
54 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 100.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 296 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1005.0
Deduct 270 from 296 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 262 / 54

Moving on to step 6:
54 can be fit into 262 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10054.0
If we subtract 216 from 262, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
460 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10054.8
If we subtract 432 from 460, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 54 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10054.85
If we subtract 270 from 280, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
100 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10054.851
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 54 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
460 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10054.8518
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 11:
280 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10054.85185
Deduct 270 from 280 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10054.851851
If we subtract 54 from 100, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
460 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10054.8518518
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 54 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10054.85185185
Deduct 270 from 280 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10054.85185185, and the remainder is 1e-08.
