We divide 47497 by 54
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 47497.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 54

Advancing to step 2:
The number 54 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 474 / 54

On to step 3:
54 goes into 474 8 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 432 from 474 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 54

On to step 4:
When dividing 429 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtract 378 from 429 to get 51.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 517 / 54

Advancing to step 5:
54 can be fit into 517 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 879.0
Subtract 486 from 517 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 54 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 879.5
Subtracting 270 from 310 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
400 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 879.57
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
220 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 879.574
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
54 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 879.574
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
400 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 879.57407
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 54 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 879.574074
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 40 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 879.574074
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
54 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 879.57407407
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 879.57407407, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
