Let's divide 971494 by 55
We want to divide 971494 by 55.

Step 1:
55 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 97, we get 42.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 421 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 385 from 421 to get 36.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 364 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
364 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
Deduct 330 from 364 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 349 / 55

On to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 349 6 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1766.0
If we subtract 330 from 349, we get 19.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 194 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 194 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17663.0
If we take 165 away from 194, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17663.5
Deduct 275 from 290 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17663.52
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17663.527
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17663.5272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17663.52727
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17663.527272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17663.5272727
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17663.52727272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17663.52727272 with a balance of 4e-08.
