Let's divide 996868 by 54
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 996868.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 54

Advancing to step 2:
The number 54 fits into 99 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 54 from 99, we get 45.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 456 / 54

Step 3:
The number 54 fits into 456 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 432 from 456.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 54

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 248 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 184.0
If we take 216 away from 248, we end up with 32.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 326 / 54

Advancing to step 5:
54 goes into 326 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1846.0
Deduct 324 from 326 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
28 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18460.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
280 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18460.5
Subtract 270 from 280 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
54 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18460.51
Deduct 54 from 100 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 460 by 54, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18460.518
Deduct 432 from 460 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 54, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18460.5185
If we subtract 270 from 280, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
100 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18460.51851
Subtracting 54 from 100 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 54 fits into 460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18460.518518
Deduct 432 from 460 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
280 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18460.5185185
If we take 270 away from 280, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18460.51851851
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 54 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18460.51851851 and a remainder of 4.6e-08.
