The number 55 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 280 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
280 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 275 from 280 to get 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
56 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 55 from 56.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 510.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 109 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 109 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 54.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5101.0
Deduct 55 from 109 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 7:

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5101.98
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5101.981
Subtracting 55 from 100 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5101.9818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5101.98181
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5101.981818
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5101.9818181
If we take 55 away from 100, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5101.98181818
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.
