Let's divide 979873 by 55
Our goal is to divide 979873 by 55.

Step 1:
The number 55 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 97 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 429 / 55

Step 3:
When dividing 429 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 385 away from 429, we end up with 44.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 448 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
55 can be fit into 448 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we take 440 away from 448, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 55

Step 5:
55 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1781.0
Subtracting 55 from 87 leaves us with 32.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 323 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 323 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17815.0
Subtract 275 from 323 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
55 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17815.8
Subtract 440 from 480 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.

Advancing to step 8:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17815.87
If we subtract 385 from 400, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17815.872
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.

On to step 10:
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: 17815.8727
If we subtract 385 from 400, 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 11:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17815.87272
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17815.872727
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 13:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17815.8727272
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17815.87272727
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.

The final outcome is 17815.87272727, with a leftover of 1.5e-08.
