We're dividing 45986872 by 540 
We want to divide 45986872 by 540.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 540 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 540

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 45 by 540, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 45 to get 45.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 459 / 540

Let's proceed to step 3:
540 goes into 459 0 times with a remainder of 459.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 459 and we're left with 459.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 459 and continue with: 4598 / 540

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 4598 by 540, we get 8 with a remainder of 278.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 4320 from 4598 leaves us with 278.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 278 and repeat the process: 2786 / 540

On to step 5:
2786 divided by 540 is 5 with a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 2700 away from 2786, we end up with 86.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 86 and continue with: 868 / 540

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 540 fits into 868 1 times, leaving a remainder of 328.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 851.0
Subtract 540 from 868 to get 328.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 328 and repeat the process: 3287 / 540

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 3287 by 540, we get 6 with a remainder of 47.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8516.0
Deduct 3240 from 3287 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 472 / 540

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 472 by 540, we get 0 with a remainder of 472.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85160.0
Deduct 0 from 472 and we're left with 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
4720 divided by 540 is 8 with a remainder of 400.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85160.8
Subtract 4320 from 4720 to get 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 4000 by 540, we get 7 with a remainder of 220.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85160.87
Subtract 3780 from 4000 to get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 2200 by 540, we get 4 and a remainder of 40.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85160.874
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 2160 from 2200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 540, we get 0 with a remainder of 400.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 85160.874
Deduct 0 from 400 and we're left with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 540 fits into 4000 7 times, leaving a remainder of 220.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 85160.87407
If we take 3780 away from 4000, we end up with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 2200 by 540, we get 4 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85160.874074
Subtracting 2160 from 2200 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
540 goes into 400 0 times with a remainder of 400.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85160.874074
Subtracting 0 from 400 leaves us with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
540 can be fit into 4000 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 220.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85160.87407407
If we subtract 3780 from 4000, we get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 85160.87407407 and a remainder of 2.2e-07.
