Let's divide 84520 by 55
We want to divide 84520 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 84 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 84 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 295 / 55

On to step 3:
55 goes into 295 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 275 away from 295, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 202 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
55 can be fit into 202 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 153.0
Subtract 165 from 202 to get 37.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 370 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1536.0
Deduct 330 from 370 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.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1536.7
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up 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 7:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1536.72
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.

Advancing to step 8:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1536.727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up 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 9:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1536.7272
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.

On to step 10:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1536.72727
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.

Advancing to step 11:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1536.727272
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.

On to step 12:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1536.7272727
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1536.72727272
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.

Our division results in 1536.72727272 with a remaining 4e-08.
