We look at the division of 461285 by 54 
Let's see how many times 54 fits into 461285.

On to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
54 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 461 / 54

On to step 3:
54 goes into 461 8 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 432 from 461 to get 29.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 292 / 54

Going ahead to step 4:
54 goes into 292 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Deduct 270 from 292 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 54

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 228 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 854.0
If we take 216 away from 228, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 125 / 54

Step 6:
The number 54 fits into 125 2 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8542.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 108 from 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 54, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8542.3
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 162 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
54 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8542.31
If we take 54 away from 80, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8542.314
Subtract 216 from 260 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
54 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8542.3148
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
80 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8542.31481
Deduct 54 from 80 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 54 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8542.314814
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 440 by 54, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8542.3148148
If we take 432 away from 440, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
54 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8542.31481481
Subtracting 54 from 80 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8542.31481481 and a remainder of 2.6e-08.
