We're dividing 978123 by 55 
Our goal is to divide 978123 by 55.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 55

Step 2:
55 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 97 to get 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 428 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 385 from 428 and we're left with 43.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 431 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 46.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 385 from 431.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 462 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1778.0
Subtracting 440 from 462 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 55

On to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 223 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17784.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 220 from 223.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
55 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17784.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17784.05
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.

Step 9:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17784.054
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.

On to step 10:
300 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17784.0545
Subtracting 275 from 300 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17784.05454
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.

On to step 12:
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: 17784.054545
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17784.0545454
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.

Step 14:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17784.05454545
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.

After the division, we end up with 17784.05454545 and a remainder of 2.5e-08.
