We're dividing 540490 by 1 
Our goal is to divide 540490 by 1.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 1, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 5 away from 5, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 1

On to step 2:
The number 1 fits into 4 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 1

Advancing to step 3:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 540.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
The number 1 fits into 4 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5404.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 1

Step 5:
The number 1 fits into 9 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54049.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 1

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 0 by 1, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 540490.0
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.

Moving on to step 7:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 540490.0
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 8:
If we divide 0 by 1, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 540490.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 540490.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
