We divide 42959 by 55
Our goal is to divide 42959 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
55 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 55

Step 2:
When dividing 42 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 429 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 goes into 429 7 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 385 from 429.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 445 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
55 can be fit into 445 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we take 440 away from 445, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 59 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 781.0
Subtracting 55 from 59 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.

On to step 6:
If we divide 40 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 781.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 781.07
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 781.072
If we subtract 110 from 150, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 781.0727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 781.07272
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 781.072727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 781.0727272
Subtracting 110 from 150 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 781.07272727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 781.07272727 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
