We divide 54258 by 79
We want to divide 54258 by 79.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
79 can be fit into 542 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 474 from 542, we get 68.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 685 / 79

Step 4:
When dividing 685 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 53.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 632 from 685.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 538 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 goes into 538 6 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 686.0
If we subtract 474 from 538, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 640 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 686.8
Subtracting 632 from 640 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 686.81
Subtract 79 from 80 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
10 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 686.81
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
100 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 686.8101
If we take 79 away from 100, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
210 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 686.81012
Subtract 158 from 210 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 520 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 46.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 686.810126
Deduct 474 from 520 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.

Advancing to step 12:
460 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 686.8101265
Subtract 395 from 460 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
79 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 686.81012658
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 632 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 686.81012658 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
