We're dividing 290491 by 54 
We want to divide 290491 by 54.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 54

Step 2:
The number 54 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 290 / 54

Step 3:
54 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 270 from 290 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 54

Step 4:
The number 54 fits into 204 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
Deduct 162 from 204 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 429 / 54

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 429 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 537.0
If we subtract 378 from 429, we get 51.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 511 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
54 goes into 511 9 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5379.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 486 from 511.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
250 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5379.4
If we subtract 216 from 250, 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.

On to step 8:
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: 5379.46
Subtracting 324 from 340 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 54, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5379.462
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.

Advancing 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: 5379.4629
If we take 486 away from 520, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
54 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5379.46296
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 324 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
160 divided by 54 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5379.462962
Subtracting 108 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 520 by 54, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5379.4629629
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 54, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5379.46296296
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.

Our division results in 5379.46296296 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
