396974 divided by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 396974 can be divided by 55.

Going ahead to step 1:
55 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 39 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 396 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 can be fit into 396 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 385 from 396 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 55

On to step 4:
119 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 110 from 119.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 97 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 721.0
Subtract 55 from 97 to get 42.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 424 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 424 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7217.0
If we subtract 385 from 424, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 390 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7217.7
If we subtract 385 from 390, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 50 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7217.7
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7217.709
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7217.709
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7217.70909
If we subtract 495 from 500, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7217.70909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7217.7090909
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7217.7090909
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7217.7090909 and a remainder of 5e-08.
