We're dividing 970488 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 970488.

Advancing to step 1:
55 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 55

On to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 55 from 97.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 420 / 55

On to step 3:
If we divide 420 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 385 from 420, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 354 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 354 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 330 from 354 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
248 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1764.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 220 from 248.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
55 can be fit into 288 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17645.0
If we subtract 275 from 288, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
55 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17645.2
Subtract 110 from 130 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17645.23
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.

Step 9:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17645.236
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17645.2363
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.

On to step 11:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17645.23636
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:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17645.236363
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17645.2363636
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17645.23636363
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
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 result is 17645.23636363 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
