We divide 520872 by 54
Our goal is to divide 520872 by 54.

Going ahead to step 1:
54 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 54

Going ahead to step 2:
54 goes into 52 0 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 52 to get 52.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 520 / 54

On to step 3:
The number 54 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 486 from 520.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 348 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 348 by 54, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we take 324 away from 348, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 54

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 247 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 964.0
Deduct 216 from 247 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 312 / 54

Let's proceed to step 6:
312 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9645.0
If we subtract 270 from 312, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 54 fits into 420 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9645.7
If we subtract 378 from 420, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9645.77
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 378 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9645.77, and the remainder is 0.042.
