We're dividing 540379 by 283 
We want to divide 540379 by 283.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 283, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 283

Moving on to step 2:
54 divided by 283 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 54 leaves us with 54.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 540 / 283

Moving on to step 3:
The number 283 fits into 540 1 times, leaving a remainder of 257.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 257 after subtracting 283 from 540.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 257, then carry on: 2573 / 283

Moving on to step 4:
2573 divided by 283 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 2547 from 2573 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 283

Going ahead to step 5:
283 goes into 267 0 times with a remainder of 267.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 190.0
If we subtract 0 from 267, we get 267.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 267, then repeat: 2679 / 283

Step 6:
283 goes into 2679 9 times with a remainder of 132.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1909.0
Subtract 2547 from 2679 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
1320 divided by 283 is 4 with a remainder of 188.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1909.4
If we take 1132 away from 1320, we end up with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
283 goes into 1880 6 times with a remainder of 182.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1909.46
If we subtract 1698 from 1880, we get 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 1820 by 283, we get 6 and a remainder of 122.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1909.466
If we subtract 1698 from 1820, we get 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1909.466, with a leftover of 0.0122.
