We divide 242585 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 242585 can be divided by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
55 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 goes into 242 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 220 from 242.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
225 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 220 from 225 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
58 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 441.0
If we subtract 55 from 58, we get 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
35 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4410.0
Subtracting 0 from 35 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4410.6
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4410.63
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4410.636
Subtract 330 from 350 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4410.6363
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4410.63636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4410.636363
Deduct 165 from 200 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4410.6363636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4410.63636363
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4410.63636363 and a remainder of 3.5e-08.
