We divide 55488140 by 231
We want to figure out the number of times 55488140 can be divided by 231.

On to step 1:
231 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 231

Moving on to step 2:
231 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 554 / 231

Advancing to step 3:
554 divided by 231 is 2 with a remainder of 92.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 462 from 554 to get 92.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 92 and repeat the process: 928 / 231

On to step 4:
When dividing 928 by 231, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 924 from 928 to get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 231

Let's proceed to step 5:
231 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 240.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 481 / 231

Step 6:
When dividing 481 by 231, we get 2 with a remainder of 19.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2402.0
If we subtract 462 from 481, we get 19.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 194 / 231

Let's proceed to step 7:
194 divided by 231 is 0 with a remainder of 194.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24020.0
If we subtract 0 from 194, we get 194.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 194 and continue with: 1940 / 231

Let's proceed to step 8:
231 goes into 1940 8 times with a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 240208.0
If we take 1848 away from 1940, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
920 divided by 231 is 3 with a remainder of 227.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 240208.3
If we take 693 away from 920, we end up with 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
231 can be fit into 2270 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 191.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 240208.39
Subtracting 2079 from 2270 leaves us with 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1910 by 231, we get 8 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 240208.398
Subtract 1848 from 1910 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
231 can be fit into 620 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 158.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 240208.3982
Subtract 462 from 620 to get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
231 goes into 1580 6 times with a remainder of 194.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240208.39826
Deduct 1386 from 1580 and we're left with 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 231 fits into 1940 8 times, leaving a remainder of 92.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240208.398268
If we subtract 1848 from 1940, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 231 fits into 920 3 times, leaving a remainder of 227.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240208.3982683
Subtract 693 from 920 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.

Going ahead to step 16:
231 goes into 2270 9 times with a remainder of 191.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240208.39826839
Subtract 2079 from 2270 to get 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 240208.39826839 with a balance of 1.91e-07.
