We're dividing 55609 by 16 
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 55609.

Going ahead to step 1:
16 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 48 from 55 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
The number 16 fits into 76 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 64 from 76, we get 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 120 by 16, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 347.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 112 from 120.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 89 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3475.0
If we take 80 away from 89, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 6:
90 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3475.5
If we subtract 80 from 90, we get 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 7:
16 goes into 100 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3475.56
Subtracting 96 from 100 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3475.562
Subtracting 32 from 40 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3475.5625
Subtracting 80 from 80 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3475.5625
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3475.5625
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3475.5625, and the remainder is 0.0.
