We look at the division of 985741 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 985741.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 98 to get 43.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 435 / 55

On to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 435 7 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 385 away from 435, we end up with 50.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 507 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 can be fit into 507 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 179.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 495 from 507.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 124 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1792.0
Subtract 110 from 124 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 141 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17922.0
Subtract 110 from 141 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17922.5
Subtracting 275 from 310 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17922.56
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.

Advancing to step 9:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17922.563
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.

Advancing to step 10:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17922.5636
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17922.56363
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.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 17922.563636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17922.5636363
Deduct 165 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 14:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17922.56363636
If we take 330 away from 350, we end up 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.

The final result is 17922.56363636 with a remainder of 2e-08.
