Let's divide 854457 by 5
Our goal is to divide 854457 by 5.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 8 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 5 from 8 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 35 / 5

On to step 2:
When dividing 35 by 5, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 35 away from 35, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 5

Let's proceed to step 3:
5 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 170.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 5

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 44 by 5, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1708.0
Subtracting 40 from 44 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 5

On to step 5:
If we divide 45 by 5, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17089.0
If we subtract 45 from 45, we get 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
7 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170891.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 5 from 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 5, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 170891.4
Subtracting 20 from 20 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.

Step 8:
0 divided by 5 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 170891.4
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 170891.4
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Our division results in 170891.4 with a remaining 0.0.
