We're dividing 54941516 by 257 
We want to divide 54941516 by 257.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 257 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 257

Moving on to step 2:
257 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 549 / 257

Let's proceed to step 3:
257 goes into 549 2 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 514 from 549 leaves us with 35.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 354 / 257

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 354 by 257, we get 1 and a remainder of 97.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 257 from 354, we get 97.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 97 and repeat the process: 971 / 257

Step 5:
257 goes into 971 3 times with a remainder of 200.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 213.0
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 771 from 971.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 200 and continue: 2005 / 257

Advancing to step 6:
2005 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 206.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2137.0
If we subtract 1799 from 2005, we get 206.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 206, then repeat: 2061 / 257

Let's proceed to step 7:
257 can be fit into 2061 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21378.0
If we subtract 2056 from 2061, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 257

Going ahead to step 8:
257 can be fit into 56 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 213780.0
Subtracting 0 from 56 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 560 by 257, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213780.2
Subtracting 514 from 560 leaves us 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 10:
257 can be fit into 460 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 203.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213780.21
Subtracting 257 from 460 leaves us with 203.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2030, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 2030 by 257, we get 7 with a remainder of 231.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213780.217
The remainder is 231 after subtracting 1799 from 2030.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
2310 divided by 257 is 8 with a remainder of 254.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 213780.2178
Subtracting 2056 from 2310 leaves us with 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
257 goes into 2540 9 times with a remainder of 227.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 213780.21789
If we take 2313 away from 2540, we end up with 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

Step 14:
257 can be fit into 2270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 214.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 213780.217898
Deduct 2056 from 2270 and we're left with 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 2140 by 257, we get 8 and a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 213780.2178988
If we subtract 2056 from 2140, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 213780.2178988 and a remainder of 8.4e-07.
