Let's divide 956978 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 956978 can be divided by 55.

Moving on to step 1:
55 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
55 can be fit into 95 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 95 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 406 / 55

On to step 3:
406 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 385 from 406, we get 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
55 can be fit into 219 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtracting 165 from 219 leaves us with 54.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 547 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
547 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1739.0
If we take 495 away from 547, we end up with 52.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 528 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
55 can be fit into 528 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17399.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 495 from 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17399.6
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 330 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
0 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17399.6
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 9:
If we divide 0 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17399.6
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.

Our division results in 17399.6 with a remaining 0.0.
