Let's divide 494965 by 55
We want to divide 494965 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
55 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 55

On to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 55

Step 3:
55 can be fit into 494 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 440 from 494 and we're left with 54.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 549 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 549 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 495 from 549.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 546 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 546 9 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 899.0
Deduct 495 from 546 and we're left with 51.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 515 / 55

Step 6:
515 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8999.0
Subtracting 495 from 515 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.

Advancing to step 7:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8999.3
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 8:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8999.36
If we subtract 330 from 350, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8999.363
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8999.3636
Subtract 330 from 350 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8999.36363
If we subtract 165 from 200, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8999.363636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8999.3636363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8999.36363636
Subtract 330 from 350 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8999.36363636 and a remainder of 2e-08.
