We look at the division of 55984 by 61 
We want to divide 55984 by 61.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 61, 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.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 559 / 61

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 559 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 549 from 559, we get 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 61

Going ahead to step 4:
61 goes into 108 1 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 91.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 61 from 108.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 474 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
61 goes into 474 7 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 917.0
If we subtract 427 from 474, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 6:
The number 61 fits into 470 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 917.7
Deduct 427 from 470 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
61 goes into 430 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 917.77
Subtracting 427 from 430 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 917.77 and a remainder of 0.003.
