We divide 85524 by 55
We want to divide 85524 by 55.

Step 1:
55 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in 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 (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 55

Step 2:
55 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 85 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 305 / 55

On to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 305 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 275 from 305 and we're left with 30.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 302 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
302 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we subtract 275 from 302, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 274 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
55 can be fit into 274 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1554.0
If we take 220 away from 274, 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.

On to step 6:
540 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1554.9
Subtract 495 from 540 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1554.98
If we subtract 440 from 450, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1554.981
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1554.9818
Subtract 440 from 450 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1554.98181
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1554.981818
Subtract 440 from 450 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1554.9818181
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 55 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1554.98181818
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1554.98181818 with a remaining 1e-08.
