288994 divided by 55 
We want to divide 288994 by 55.

Step 1:
55 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 288 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 275 away from 288, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 139 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
139 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 29.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtract 110 from 139 to get 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 299 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 525.0
Subtracting 275 from 299 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
55 can be fit into 244 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5254.0
Deduct 220 from 244 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5254.4
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 220 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5254.43
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 9:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5254.436
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5254.4363
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5254.43636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5254.436363
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5254.4363636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5254.43636363
Deduct 165 from 200 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5254.43636363, with a leftover of 3.5e-08.
