We divide 268978 by 54
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 268978.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 54

Advancing to step 2:
54 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 54

Step 3:
The number 54 fits into 268 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 216 from 268 to get 52.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 529 / 54

On to step 4:
If we divide 529 by 54, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 486 from 529 and we're left with 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 54

On to step 5:
54 goes into 437 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 432 from 437.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 54

Step 6:
58 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4981.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 54 from 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 40 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4981.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 54 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4981.07
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 54 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4981.074
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
54 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4981.074
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4981.07407
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 54, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4981.074074
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4981.074074
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4981.07407407
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4981.07407407, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
