We divide 55048993 by 749
We're looking to find how many times 749 goes into 55048993.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 749 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 749

Advancing to step 2:
55 divided by 749 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 550 / 749

Advancing to step 3:
749 can be fit into 550 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 550.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 550 after subtracting 0 from 550.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 550 and repeat the process: 5504 / 749

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 5504 by 749, we get 7 with a remainder of 261.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 5243 from 5504, we get 261.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 261 and continue with: 2618 / 749

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 749 fits into 2618 3 times, leaving a remainder of 371.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we subtract 2247 from 2618, we get 371.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 371 and continue: 3719 / 749

Advancing to step 6:
3719 divided by 749 is 4 with a remainder of 723.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 734.0
Subtracting 2996 from 3719 leaves us with 723.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 723, then carry on: 7239 / 749

On to step 7:
749 goes into 7239 9 times with a remainder of 498.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7349.0
Subtract 6741 from 7239 to get 498.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 498, then repeat: 4983 / 749

Step 8:
749 can be fit into 4983 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 489.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73496.0
Deduct 4494 from 4983 and we're left with 489.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4890, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 749 fits into 4890 6 times, leaving a remainder of 396.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73496.6
Subtract 4494 from 4890 to get 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 749 fits into 3960 5 times, leaving a remainder of 215.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73496.65
Subtracting 3745 from 3960 leaves us with 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 2150 by 749, we get 2 and a remainder of 652.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 73496.652
Subtract 1498 from 2150 to get 652.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
6520 divided by 749 is 8 with a remainder of 528.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73496.6528
Subtract 5992 from 6520 to get 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 5280 by 749, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73496.65287
If we subtract 5243 from 5280, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
749 can be fit into 370 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 370.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73496.65287
Subtracting 0 from 370 leaves us with 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 749 fits into 3700 4 times, leaving a remainder of 704.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73496.6528704
The remainder is 704 after subtracting 2996 from 3700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7040, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
7040 divided by 749 is 9 with a remainder of 299.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73496.65287049
Subtracting 6741 from 7040 leaves us with 299.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2990, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 73496.65287049 with a balance of 2.99e-07.
