We divide 540299 by 1
Our goal is to divide 540299 by 1.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 1 fits into 5 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 5 from 5 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Moving on to step 2:
The number 1 fits into 4 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 1

On to step 3:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 540.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
1 can be fit into 2 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5402.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 2 from 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 1

Step 5:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54029.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 1

Advancing to step 6:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 540299.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 540299.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 540299.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 540299.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
