Let's divide 55990694 by 178
Our goal is to divide 55990694 by 178.

Let's proceed to step 1:
178 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 178

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 178, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 559 / 178

Let's proceed to step 3:
559 divided by 178 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 534 from 559, we get 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 178

Let's proceed to step 4:
178 goes into 259 1 times with a remainder of 81.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 178 from 259, we get 81.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 81, then repeat: 810 / 178

Moving on to step 5:
178 can be fit into 810 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 314.0
If we take 712 away from 810, we end up with 98.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 98 and repeat the process: 986 / 178

On to step 6:
The number 178 fits into 986 5 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3145.0
If we take 890 away from 986, we end up with 96.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 96, then carry on: 969 / 178

Going ahead to step 7:
178 can be fit into 969 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31455.0
If we subtract 890 from 969, we get 79.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 79, then repeat: 794 / 178

Let's proceed to step 8:
794 divided by 178 is 4 with a remainder of 82.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 314554.0
If we subtract 712 from 794, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
178 goes into 820 4 times with a remainder of 108.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 314554.4
Deduct 712 from 820 and we're left with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
1080 divided by 178 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 314554.46
Subtracting 1068 from 1080 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
120 divided by 178 is 0 with a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 314554.46
Subtracting 0 from 120 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
178 goes into 1200 6 times with a remainder of 132.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 314554.4606
Deduct 1068 from 1200 and we're left with 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
178 goes into 1320 7 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 314554.46067
Subtract 1246 from 1320 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
178 can be fit into 740 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 314554.460674
Subtracting 712 from 740 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
178 can be fit into 280 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 314554.4606741
If we take 178 away from 280, we end up with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Step 16:
178 goes into 1020 5 times with a remainder of 130.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 314554.46067415
If we subtract 890 from 1020, we get 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 314554.46067415, and the remainder is 1.3e-07.
