We're dividing 212954 by 5 
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 212954.

Advancing to step 1:
5 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 5

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 5 fits into 21 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 20 from 21, we get 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 5

On to step 3:
If we divide 12 by 5, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 10 from 12 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 5

On to step 4:
The number 5 fits into 29 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 425.0
If we take 25 away from 29, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 5

Advancing to step 5:
45 divided by 5 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4259.0
Deduct 45 from 45 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 5

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 5 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42590.0
Deduct 0 from 4 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 5, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42590.8
Subtracting 40 from 40 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42590.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42590.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 42590.8 with a balance of 0.0.
