Let's divide 41887983 by 540
Our goal is to divide 41887983 by 540.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 540, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 540

Advancing to step 2:
540 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 418 / 540

Step 3:
418 divided by 540 is 0 with a remainder of 418.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 418 leaves us with 418.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 418 and repeat the process: 4188 / 540

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 4188 by 540, we get 7 with a remainder of 408.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 3780 from 4188 and we're left with 408.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 408, then carry on: 4087 / 540

Advancing to step 5:
4087 divided by 540 is 7 with a remainder of 307.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtract 3780 from 4087 to get 307.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 307 and repeat the process: 3079 / 540

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 540 fits into 3079 5 times, leaving a remainder of 379.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 775.0
Deduct 2700 from 3079 and we're left with 379.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 379, then repeat: 3798 / 540

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 540 fits into 3798 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7757.0
Deduct 3780 from 3798 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 183 / 540

Step 8:
183 divided by 540 is 0 with a remainder of 183.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77570.0
Deduct 0 from 183 and we're left with 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
540 goes into 1830 3 times with a remainder of 210.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77570.3
Subtracting 1620 from 1830 leaves us with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
540 goes into 2100 3 times with a remainder of 480.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77570.33
Subtract 1620 from 2100 to get 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Our division results in 77570.33 with a remaining 0.48.
