Let's divide 966988 by 54
Our goal is to divide 966988 by 54.

On to step 1:
54 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 96 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
The number 54 fits into 96 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 54 from 96 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 426 / 54

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 54 fits into 426 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 378 from 426.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 54

On to step 4:
54 can be fit into 489 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
Deduct 486 from 489 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 54

Moving on to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1790.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 388 / 54

Let's proceed to step 6:
388 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17907.0
If we subtract 378 from 388, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 54 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17907.1
If we subtract 54 from 100, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 17907.18
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.

Moving on to step 9:
54 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17907.185
Subtract 270 from 280 to get 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 10:
54 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17907.1851
Deduct 54 from 100 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 460 by 54, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17907.18518
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.

On to step 12:
54 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17907.185185
If we take 270 away from 280, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
54 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17907.1851851
Deduct 54 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 460 by 54, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17907.18518518
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.

Our division results in 17907.18518518 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
