Let's divide 917890 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 917890.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 91 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
55 can be fit into 91 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 91, we get 36.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 367 / 55

Step 3:
367 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 37.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 330 from 367 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 378 / 55

On to step 4:
55 can be fit into 378 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtract 330 from 378 to get 48.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 489 / 55

On to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 489 8 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1668.0
Subtracting 440 from 489 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 490 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 490 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16688.0
If we subtract 440 from 490, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16688.9
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.

On to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16688.9
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16688.909
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16688.909
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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.

On to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16688.90909
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 16688.90909
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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.

On to step 13:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16688.9090909
If we subtract 495 from 500, we get 5.
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 14:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16688.9090909
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.

The final result is 16688.9090909 with a remainder of 5e-08.
