We divide 291587 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 291587.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 55

Step 2:
55 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 291 / 55

On to step 3:
55 goes into 291 5 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 275 from 291, we get 16.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 165 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 165 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
Deduct 165 from 165 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 8 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 530.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 55

On to step 6:
87 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5301.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 55 from 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
320 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5301.5
Deduct 275 from 320 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5301.58
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.

On to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5301.581
If we take 55 away from 100, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5301.5818
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5301.58181
If we take 55 away from 100, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5301.581818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 5301.5818181
If we subtract 55 from 100, we 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.

Step 14:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5301.58181818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 5301.58181818, with a leftover of 1e-08.
