We're dividing 550899 by 70 
We're looking to find how many times 70 goes into 550899.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 70 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 70

Step 2:
When dividing 55 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 550 / 70

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 550 by 70, we get 7 with a remainder of 60.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 490 away from 550, we end up with 60.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 608 / 70

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 608 by 70, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78.0
Subtracting 560 from 608 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 489 / 70

On to step 5:
When dividing 489 by 70, we get 6 with a remainder of 69.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 786.0
If we take 420 away from 489, we end up with 69.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 699 / 70

Let's proceed to step 6:
699 divided by 70 is 9 with a remainder of 69.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7869.0
If we take 630 away from 699, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 690 by 70, we get 9 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7869.9
If we subtract 630 from 690, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
70 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7869.98
If we take 560 away from 600, 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.

On to step 9:
70 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7869.985
If we subtract 350 from 400, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
70 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7869.9857
Subtracting 490 from 500 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7869.98571
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 70 from 100.
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:
70 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7869.985714
Subtracting 280 from 300 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.

On to step 13:
70 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7869.9857142
Subtract 140 from 200 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 70 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7869.98571428
Subtract 560 from 600 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.

The final result is 7869.98571428 with a remainder of 4e-08.
