We're dividing 208743 by 55 
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 208743.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 208 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 165 from 208 and we're left with 43.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 437 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 437 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtracting 385 from 437 leaves us with 52.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 524 / 55

Step 5:
55 goes into 524 9 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 379.0
If we take 495 away from 524, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 293 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
293 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 18.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3795.0
If we subtract 275 from 293, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3795.3
If we subtract 165 from 180, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3795.32
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3795.327
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3795.3272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3795.32727
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3795.327272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3795.3272727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3795.32727272
If we subtract 110 from 150, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3795.32727272, and the remainder is 4e-08.
