Let's divide 847943 by 55
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 847943.

Step 1:
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: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 84 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 84, we get 29.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 297 / 55

On to step 3:
297 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 275 from 297 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 229 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 220 from 229.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 55

On to step 5:
94 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1541.0
Deduct 55 from 94 and we're left with 39.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 393 / 55

Step 6:
If we divide 393 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15417.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 385 from 393.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
55 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15417.1
Subtracting 55 from 80 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 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15417.14
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 9:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15417.145
Subtract 275 from 300 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15417.1454
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 300 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15417.14545
If we subtract 275 from 300, we get 25.
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:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15417.145454
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15417.1454545
If we take 275 away from 300, we end up 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 14:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15417.14545454
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.

Our division results in 15417.14545454 with a remaining 3e-08.
