We divide 252879 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 252879 can be divided by 55.

On to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 55

On to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 252 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 252 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 220 from 252, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 328 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 328 5 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 275 from 328 and we're left with 53.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 537 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
55 goes into 537 9 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 459.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 495 from 537.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 429 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
429 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 44.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4597.0
If we subtract 385 from 429, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4597.8
Subtracting 440 from 440 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
55 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4597.8
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
55 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4597.8
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4597.8, with a leftover of 0.0.
