Final answer:

To divide using partial quotients, start by dividing the first digit of the dividend by the divisor. Subtract the product from the dividend to get the remainder. Bring down the next digit and repeat the process until there are no more digits. The quotient is the sum of all the partial quotients with the remainder.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide using partial quotients, you start by determining how many times the divisor can go into the dividend without going over. In this case, 54 can go into 979 about 18 times. Then, you subtract 18 times 54 from 979 to find the remainder, which is 47. Finally, you bring down the next digit, 0, to the remainder and repeat the process. 54 can go into 470 about 8 times, with a remainder of 22. Since there are no more digits, our quotient is 18 with a remainder of 22.
