We're dividing 974870 by 54 
Our goal is to divide 974870 by 54.

Moving on to step 1:
54 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 54 from 97.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 434 / 54

Step 3:
434 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 432 from 434, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
54 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 54

On to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 287 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1805.0
If we subtract 270 from 287, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 170 / 54

Advancing to step 6:
54 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18053.0
Subtracting 162 from 170 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
54 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18053.1
Subtracting 54 from 80 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
54 goes into 260 4 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18053.14
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 216 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
54 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18053.148
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
54 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18053.1481
Subtract 54 from 80 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18053.14814
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
54 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18053.148148
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
80 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18053.1481481
If we take 54 away from 80, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
54 can be fit into 260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18053.14814814
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18053.14814814 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
