We divide 988508 by 54
Our goal is to divide 988508 by 54.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 54

Going ahead to step 2:
54 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 54 from 98.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 54

On to step 3:
448 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 432 from 448, we get 16.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 165 / 54

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 165 by 54, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtract 162 from 165 to get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 54

Moving on to step 5:
54 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1830.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 54

On to step 6:
308 divided by 54 is 5 with a remainder of 38.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18305.0
Subtracting 270 from 308 leaves us 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 7:
The number 54 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18305.7
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 54 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18305.7
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.

Step 9:
200 divided by 54 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18305.703
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 162 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18305.7037
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18305.7037
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
54 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18305.703703
If we subtract 162 from 200, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
54 can be fit into 380 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18305.7037037
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
54 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18305.7037037
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 18305.7037037 and a remainder of 2e-08.
