We're dividing 127881 by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 127881 can be divided by 55.

Moving on to step 1:
55 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 127 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 110 from 127, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 178 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 165 away from 178, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
55 goes into 138 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 232.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 110 from 138.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 281 / 55

Step 6:
The number 55 fits into 281 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2325.0
Subtract 275 from 281 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2325.1
Deduct 55 from 60 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2325.1
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2325.109
If we subtract 495 from 500, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2325.109
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2325.10909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2325.10909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2325.1090909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2325.1090909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2325.1090909, with a leftover of 5e-08.
