8701 divided by 54 
Our goal is to divide 8701 by 54.

Advancing to step 1:
54 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 54 from 87 and we're left with 33.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 330 / 54

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 330 by 54, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 324 from 330 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 54

On to step 4:
61 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 161.0
Deduct 54 from 61 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 70 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 161.1
Subtracting 54 from 70 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 6:
160 divided by 54 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 161.12
Subtract 108 from 160 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
54 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 161.129
Deduct 486 from 520 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 340 by 54, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 161.1296
Deduct 324 from 340 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 54, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 161.12962
If we subtract 108 from 160, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 10:
54 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 161.129629
If we subtract 486 from 520, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
54 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 161.1296296
If we take 324 away from 340, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
54 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 161.12962962
Deduct 108 from 160 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 161.12962962, with a leftover of 5.2e-08.
