We divide 197842 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 197842.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 55

On to step 3:
When dividing 197 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 165 away from 197, we end up with 32.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 328 / 55

Step 4:
55 can be fit into 328 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 275 from 328, we get 53.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 534 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 534 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 359.0
Subtracting 495 from 534 leaves us with 39.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 392 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 392 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3597.0
If we take 385 away from 392, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
55 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3597.1
Subtracting 55 from 70 leaves us with 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 8:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3597.12
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3597.127
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3597.1272
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3597.12727
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3597.127272
If we subtract 110 from 150, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3597.1272727
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left with 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 14:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3597.12727272
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.

The final outcome is 3597.12727272, with a leftover of 4e-08.
