We divide 740971 by 54
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 740971.

Going ahead to step 1:
54 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 54, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 54 from 74.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 200 / 54

Moving on to step 3:
54 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 162 away from 200, we end up with 38.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 389 / 54

Step 4:
54 goes into 389 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we take 378 away from 389, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 54

Moving on to step 5:
54 goes into 117 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1372.0
If we subtract 108 from 117, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 54

Let's proceed to step 6:
54 can be fit into 91 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13721.0
Subtract 54 from 91 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
54 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13721.6
If we subtract 324 from 370, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 54, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13721.68
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 54 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13721.685
If we take 270 away from 280, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 54 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13721.6851
Subtracting 54 from 100 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
54 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13721.68518
Deduct 432 from 460 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
54 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13721.685185
Subtracting 270 from 280 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
54 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13721.6851851
Deduct 54 from 100 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 54 fits into 460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13721.68518518
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 13721.68518518 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
