We divide 478438 by 54
We want to divide 478438 by 54.

Let's proceed to step 1:
54 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 54 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 478 / 54

Moving on to step 3:
54 can be fit into 478 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 432 away from 478, we end up with 46.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 464 / 54

Advancing to step 4:
54 goes into 464 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 432 from 464 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 323 / 54

On to step 5:
323 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 885.0
Subtract 270 from 323 to get 53.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 538 / 54

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 54 fits into 538 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8859.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 486 from 538.
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 number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8859.9
Subtracting 486 from 520 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 54, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8859.96
If we subtract 324 from 340, we get 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:
160 divided by 54 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8859.962
If we take 108 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
54 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8859.9629
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 486 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
340 divided by 54 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8859.96296
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.

On to step 12:
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: 8859.962962
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.

Step 13:
The number 54 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8859.9629629
Subtract 486 from 520 to 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 54, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8859.96296296
If we subtract 324 from 340, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8859.96296296 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
