We're dividing 5495468 by 217 
We want to divide 5495468 by 217.

Going ahead to step 1:
217 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 217

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 217 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 549 / 217

Advancing to step 3:
549 divided by 217 is 2 with a remainder of 115.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 434 from 549 leaves us with 115.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 115, then carry on: 1155 / 217

Moving on to step 4:
217 goes into 1155 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 1085 from 1155 and we're left with 70.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 704 / 217

Advancing to step 5:
217 can be fit into 704 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 253.0
Deduct 651 from 704 and we're left with 53.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 536 / 217

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 536 by 217, we get 2 with a remainder of 102.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2532.0
Deduct 434 from 536 and we're left with 102.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 102, then carry on: 1028 / 217

Advancing to step 7:
The number 217 fits into 1028 4 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25324.0
If we take 868 away from 1028, we end up with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 1600 by 217, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25324.7
Subtracting 1519 from 1600 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
810 divided by 217 is 3 with a remainder of 159.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25324.73
If we subtract 651 from 810, we get 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1590 divided by 217 is 7 with a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25324.737
Deduct 1519 from 1590 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
710 divided by 217 is 3 with a remainder of 59.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25324.7373
If we take 651 away from 710, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 590 by 217, we get 2 with a remainder of 156.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25324.73732
Subtract 434 from 590 to get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1560 by 217, we get 7 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25324.737327
If we take 1519 away from 1560, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
217 goes into 410 1 times with a remainder of 193.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 25324.7373271
Subtract 217 from 410 to get 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
217 goes into 1930 8 times with a remainder of 194.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25324.73732718
Subtracting 1736 from 1930 leaves us with 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 25324.73732718, with a leftover of 1.94e-07.
