We divide 740687 by 54
We're looking to find how many times 54 goes into 740687.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 54

Step 2:
54 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 54 from 74 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 200 / 54

On to step 3:
If we divide 200 by 54, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 162 away from 200, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 386 / 54

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 386 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 137.0
Subtracting 378 from 386 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 54

Going ahead to step 5:
54 can be fit into 88 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1371.0
Deduct 54 from 88 and we're left with 34.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 347 / 54

Step 6:
54 can be fit into 347 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13716.0
Subtract 324 from 347 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 54 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13716.4
Subtracting 216 from 230 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 54, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13716.42
Deduct 108 from 140 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
54 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13716.425
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 270 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
54 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13716.4259
Subtract 486 from 500 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
54 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13716.42592
If we subtract 108 from 140, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
54 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13716.425925
Subtract 270 from 320 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
500 divided by 54 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13716.4259259
Deduct 486 from 500 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 54 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13716.42592592
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 108 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13716.42592592 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
