We divide 46991 by 54
We want to divide 46991 by 54.

Let's proceed to step 1:
54 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 54

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 469 / 54

Moving on to step 3:
The number 54 fits into 469 8 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 432 from 469.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 54

Step 4:
If we divide 379 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtracting 378 from 379 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 54

Moving on to step 5:
11 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 870.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 110 by 54, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 870.2
Subtract 108 from 110 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 54 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 870.2
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 54 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 870.203
Subtract 162 from 200 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 380 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 870.2037
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 870.2037
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
54 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 870.203703
Subtracting 162 from 200 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 870.2037037
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
20 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 870.2037037
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 870.2037037 with a remaining 2e-08.
