We divide 997 by 54
We want to divide 997 by 54.

On to step 1:
54 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
99 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 54 from 99 to get 45.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 457 / 54

Advancing to step 3:
457 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 25.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 432 from 457 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 4:
250 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.4
Deduct 216 from 250 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 5:
54 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.46
Subtracting 324 from 340 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
54 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.462
If we subtract 108 from 160, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 54, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.4629
Deduct 486 from 520 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 54, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.46296
Subtract 324 from 340 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 54, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.462962
Deduct 108 from 160 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 520 by 54, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18.4629629
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 486 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 340 by 54, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.46296296
If we subtract 324 from 340, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18.46296296, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
