Start with the number n = 54527. divide n by 5 and round the result up to an integer. keep repeating the division and rounding step until the resulting number is less than 5. how many divisions are performed? you can use a calculator for this problem, but you should not have to actually perform all of the divisions.

Without rounding, I make it six. You could do it this way
54527/5^6 comes to a little over 3. That should be close enough. I'm going to check this by doing the divisions. I could let the computer do it, but I'd like to see if there's a pattern. There isn't and the correct answer is

6 <<<< divisions.

4.736
