873851 ÷ 54 
Our goal is to divide 873851 by 54.

Step 1:
The number 54 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 54

Step 2:
54 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 54 from 87 and we're left with 33.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 333 / 54

Advancing to step 3:
333 divided by 54 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 324 from 333, we get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 54

Going ahead to step 4:
54 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 161.0
Subtract 54 from 98 to get 44.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 445 / 54

Going ahead to step 5:
54 can be fit into 445 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1618.0
If we subtract 432 from 445, we get 13.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 54

Advancing to step 6:
54 can be fit into 131 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16182.0
Subtract 108 from 131 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
54 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16182.4
If we take 216 away from 230, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
54 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16182.42
Subtract 108 from 140 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 54, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16182.425
If we take 270 away from 320, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
54 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16182.4259
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 486 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
54 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16182.42592
If we take 108 away from 140, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
320 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16182.425925
Deduct 270 from 320 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 54 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16182.4259259
If we take 486 away from 500, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 54, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16182.42592592
If we take 108 away from 140, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16182.42592592, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
