We're dividing 971990 by 54 
Let's see how many times 54 fits into 971990.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 54 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
97 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 54 from 97 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 431 / 54

Going ahead to step 3:
431 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 378 away from 431, we end up with 53.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 539 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 539 by 54, we get 9 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we take 486 away from 539, we end up with 53.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 539 / 54

On to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 539 9 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1799.0
Subtracting 486 from 539 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 530 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 530 by 54, we get 9 with a remainder of 44.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17999.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 486 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
54 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17999.8
If we take 432 away from 440, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
80 divided by 54 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17999.81
If we take 54 away from 80, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
260 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17999.814
If we subtract 216 from 260, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 54 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17999.8148
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17999.81481
If we subtract 54 from 80, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
260 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17999.814814
Subtracting 216 from 260 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
54 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17999.8148148
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
54 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17999.81481481
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17999.81481481 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
