We divide 872884 by 55
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 872884.

Step 1:
8 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 55

On to step 2:
55 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 87 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 322 / 55

Step 3:
55 can be fit into 322 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 275 from 322 and we're left with 47.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 478 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 478 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtract 440 from 478 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 55

On to step 5:
55 can be fit into 388 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1587.0
Subtract 385 from 388 to get 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15870.0
If we take 0 away from 34, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15870.6
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 330 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15870.61
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15870.618
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15870.6181
If we subtract 55 from 100, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15870.61818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15870.618181
Subtracting 55 from 100 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15870.6181818
If we subtract 440 from 450, 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 14:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15870.61818181
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 55 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 15870.61818181, with a leftover of 4.5e-08.
