We look at the division of 879257 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 879257.

Moving on to step 1:
55 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 55 from 87.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 329 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 329 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 275 from 329 to get 54.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 542 / 55

On to step 4:
If we divide 542 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 495 from 542.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 475 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
55 can be fit into 475 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1598.0
If we take 440 away from 475, we end up with 35.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 357 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 357 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15986.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 330 from 357.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 270 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 50.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15986.4
Deduct 220 from 270 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15986.49
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15986.49
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15986.4909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15986.4909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15986.490909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 13:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15986.490909
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15986.49090909
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 15986.49090909, with a leftover of 5e-09.
