542594 ÷ 54 
We want to divide 542594 by 54.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 54

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 54, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 54 from 54 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 54

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 2 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 54

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 25 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 54

Step 5:
When dividing 259 by 54, we get 4 with a remainder of 43.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1004.0
Subtracting 216 from 259 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 434 / 54

On to step 6:
54 goes into 434 8 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10048.0
Deduct 432 from 434 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
54 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10048.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 54 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10048.03
Deduct 162 from 200 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
54 can be fit into 380 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10048.037
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 54 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10048.037
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 54 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10048.03703
If we take 162 away from 200, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 380 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10048.037037
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10048.037037
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
54 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10048.03703703
Subtract 162 from 200 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10048.03703703 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
