55286479 ÷ 217 
We want to divide 55286479 by 217.

On to step 1:
217 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 217

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 217, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 552 / 217

Advancing to step 3:
217 goes into 552 2 times with a remainder of 118.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 434 away from 552, we end up with 118.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 118 and continue with: 1188 / 217

Moving on to step 4:
The number 217 fits into 1188 5 times, leaving a remainder of 103.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 1085 from 1188 leaves us with 103.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 103 and continue: 1036 / 217

On to step 5:
If we divide 1036 by 217, we get 4 and a remainder of 168.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.0
If we take 868 away from 1036, we end up with 168.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 168 and continue with: 1684 / 217

Moving on to step 6:
217 can be fit into 1684 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 165.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2547.0
If we subtract 1519 from 1684, we get 165.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 165 and continue: 1657 / 217

Step 7:
If we divide 1657 by 217, we get 7 and a remainder of 138.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25477.0
Deduct 1519 from 1657 and we're left with 138.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 138 and repeat the process: 1389 / 217

Moving on to step 8:
217 goes into 1389 6 times with a remainder of 87.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254776.0
If we take 1302 away from 1389, we end up with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Step 9:
870 divided by 217 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 254776.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 868 from 870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 217 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254776.4
Subtract 0 from 20 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 217, we get 0 and a remainder of 200.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254776.4
If we take 0 away from 200, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 254776.4 and a remainder of 0.02.
