We divide 342996 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 342996 can be divided by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 342 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 342 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 330 away from 342, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 55

Step 4:
55 can be fit into 129 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 110 from 129, we get 19.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 199 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 199 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 623.0
Subtracting 165 from 199 leaves us with 34.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 346 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 346 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6236.0
If we subtract 330 from 346, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
160 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6236.2
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 110 from 160.
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 8:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6236.29
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.

Moving on to step 9:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6236.29
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6236.2909
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.

On to step 11:
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: 6236.2909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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 12:
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: 6236.290909
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 50 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6236.290909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6236.29090909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left 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 result is 6236.29090909 with a remainder of 5e-09.
