55988895 ÷ 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 55988895.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 4 from 5 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 14 from 15 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
2 goes into 19 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 279.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 18 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2799.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27994.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 279944.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 7:
2 can be fit into 9 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2799444.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Step 8:
15 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27994447.0
Subtracting 14 from 15 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27994447.5
If we subtract 10 from 10, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27994447.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27994447.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 27994447.5 with a balance of 0.0.
