Let's divide 384040 by 54
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 384040.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 54

On to step 2:
54 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 384 / 54

Step 3:
54 can be fit into 384 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 378 from 384 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 54

On to step 4:
54 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we take 54 away from 60, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 64 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 711.0
If we take 54 away from 64, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 100 / 54

Moving on to step 6:
54 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7111.0
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 7:
54 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7111.8
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 432 from 460.
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 8:
54 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7111.85
Subtracting 270 from 280 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
54 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7111.851
Subtract 54 from 100 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
54 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7111.8518
If we subtract 432 from 460, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 54 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7111.85185
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 270 from 280.
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 12:
54 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7111.851851
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
54 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7111.8518518
If we take 432 away from 460, 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 280 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7111.85185185
Deduct 270 from 280 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7111.85185185 with a balance of 1e-08.
