We look at the division of 978698 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 978698.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 55 away from 97, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 428 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 428 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 385 from 428 and we're left with 43.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 436 / 55

On to step 4:
55 can be fit into 436 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177.0
If we take 385 away from 436, we end up with 51.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 519 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 519 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1779.0
If we subtract 495 from 519, we get 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 248 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17794.0
If we subtract 220 from 248, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 280 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17794.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 275 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17794.5
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17794.509
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 10:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17794.509
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17794.50909
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17794.50909
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17794.5090909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17794.5090909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17794.5090909, and the remainder is 5e-08.
