We divide 42689 by 54
Our goal is to divide 42689 by 54.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 54

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 426 / 54

Advancing to step 3:
54 goes into 426 7 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 378 from 426 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 54

On to step 4:
The number 54 fits into 488 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 79.0
If we subtract 486 from 488, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 29 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 790.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
54 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 790.5
Subtracting 270 from 290 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
54 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 790.53
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 162 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
380 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 790.537
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 790.537
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 54 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 790.53703
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 162 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
380 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 790.537037
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
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 12:
If we divide 20 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 790.537037
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 54, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 790.53703703
Deduct 162 from 200 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 790.53703703, with a leftover of 3.8e-08.
