257749 divided by 55 
We want to divide 257749 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 220 away from 257, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 55

On to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 377 6 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 330 from 377 leaves us with 47.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 474 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
474 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 468.0
Subtract 440 from 474 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 349 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
349 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4686.0
Deduct 330 from 349 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 190 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4686.3
Subtracting 165 from 190 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4686.34
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4686.345
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4686.3454
If we take 220 away from 250, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4686.34545
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 275 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4686.345454
Subtracting 220 from 250 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4686.3454545
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4686.34545454
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 220 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4686.34545454, and the remainder is 3e-08.
