We look at the division of 544879 by 5 
We want to figure out the number of times 544879 can be divided by 5.

Moving on to step 1:
5 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 5 from 5 to get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 5

On to step 2:
The number 5 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 5

Moving on to step 3:
The number 5 fits into 44 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we take 40 away from 44, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 5

On to step 4:
If we divide 48 by 5, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1089.0
Subtract 45 from 48 to get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 5

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 5 fits into 37 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10897.0
If we subtract 35 from 37, we get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 5

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 5 fits into 29 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 108975.0
Deduct 25 from 29 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 5 fits into 40 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108975.8
Subtracting 40 from 40 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108975.8
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 108975.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 108975.8, with a leftover of 0.0.
