We're dividing 54688845 by 531 
We want to divide 54688845 by 531.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 531, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 531

Moving on to step 2:
531 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 546 / 531

Let's proceed to step 3:
531 can be fit into 546 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 531 from 546 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 531

On to step 4:
158 divided by 531 is 0 with a remainder of 158.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 158 after subtracting 0 from 158.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 158, then repeat: 1588 / 531

On to step 5:
531 can be fit into 1588 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 526.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 102.0
Subtracting 1062 from 1588 leaves us with 526.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 526 and continue: 5268 / 531

Let's proceed to step 6:
531 goes into 5268 9 times with a remainder of 489.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1029.0
Subtracting 4779 from 5268 leaves us with 489.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 489, then carry on: 4894 / 531

On to step 7:
The number 531 fits into 4894 9 times, leaving a remainder of 115.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10299.0
If we take 4779 away from 4894, we end up with 115.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 115, then repeat: 1155 / 531

Moving on to step 8:
The number 531 fits into 1155 2 times, leaving a remainder of 93.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102992.0
Subtract 1062 from 1155 to get 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 930 by 531, we get 1 with a remainder of 399.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102992.1
Subtracting 531 from 930 leaves us with 399.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3990, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
3990 divided by 531 is 7 with a remainder of 273.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102992.17
The remainder is 273 after subtracting 3717 from 3990.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2730, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
531 can be fit into 2730 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102992.175
Subtracting 2655 from 2730 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
531 can be fit into 750 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 219.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 102992.1751
If we take 531 away from 750, we end up with 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
531 goes into 2190 4 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102992.17514
If we take 2124 away from 2190, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
531 can be fit into 660 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 129.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 102992.175141
If we subtract 531 from 660, we get 129.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
531 can be fit into 1290 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 228.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 102992.1751412
Subtracting 1062 from 1290 leaves us with 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 531 fits into 2280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 102992.17514124
Subtract 2124 from 2280 to get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 102992.17514124 with a remaining 1.56e-07.
