We're dividing 552056 by 277 
We want to divide 552056 by 277.

Going ahead to step 1:
277 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 277

Step 2:
If we divide 55 by 277, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 552 / 277

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 552 by 277, we get 1 with a remainder of 275.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 277 from 552 to get 275.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 275, then carry on: 2750 / 277

On to step 4:
The number 277 fits into 2750 9 times, leaving a remainder of 257.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 257 after subtracting 2493 from 2750.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 257, then carry on: 2575 / 277

Going ahead to step 5:
2575 divided by 277 is 9 with a remainder of 82.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 199.0
Deduct 2493 from 2575 and we're left with 82.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 82 and continue: 826 / 277

Step 6:
When dividing 826 by 277, we get 2 with a remainder of 272.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1992.0
If we take 554 away from 826, we end up with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
2720 divided by 277 is 9 with a remainder of 227.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1992.9
Subtract 2493 from 2720 to get 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 2270 by 277, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1992.98
If we take 2216 away from 2270, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
277 goes into 540 1 times with a remainder of 263.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1992.981
If we take 277 away from 540, we end up with 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2630, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2630 divided by 277 is 9 with a remainder of 137.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1992.9819
Subtracting 2493 from 2630 leaves us with 137.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
1370 divided by 277 is 4 with a remainder of 262.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1992.98194
Subtracting 1108 from 1370 leaves us with 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 277 fits into 2620 9 times, leaving a remainder of 127.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1992.981949
Deduct 2493 from 2620 and we're left with 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
277 can be fit into 1270 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 162.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1992.9819494
If we subtract 1108 from 1270, we get 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
277 goes into 1620 5 times with a remainder of 235.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1992.98194945
If we subtract 1385 from 1620, we get 235.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2350, and continue the process.

The final result is 1992.98194945 with a remainder of 2.35e-07.
