We're dividing 86872 by 54 
Let's see how many times 54 fits into 86872.

Step 1:
54 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 54

Step 2:
54 goes into 86 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 54 from 86 to get 32.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 328 / 54

Going ahead to step 3:
54 can be fit into 328 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 324 away from 328, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 54

On to step 4:
54 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 472 / 54

Going ahead to step 5:
54 goes into 472 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1608.0
Deduct 432 from 472 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 6:
54 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1608.7
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
54 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1608.74
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
54 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1608.74
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 54 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1608.7407
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
54 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1608.74074
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1608.74074
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
54 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1608.7407407
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
220 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1608.74074074
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1608.74074074, and the remainder is 4e-09.
