542745 divided by 54 
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 542745.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 54

Step 2:
54 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 54 from 54 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 54

On to step 3:
If we divide 2 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 54

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 54 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 274 / 54

Going ahead to step 5:
54 goes into 274 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1005.0
Subtract 270 from 274 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 54

Advancing to step 6:
54 can be fit into 45 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10050.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 450 by 54, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10050.8
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 432 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
54 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10050.83
If we subtract 162 from 180, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
54 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10050.833
Subtract 162 from 180 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10050.833, and the remainder is 0.0018.
