Let's divide 551275 by 55
We want to divide 551275 by 55.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 55

Step 2:
55 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 55 away from 55, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 1 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 12 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 100.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
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: 1002.0
If we subtract 110 from 127, we get 17.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 175 / 55

On to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 175 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10023.0
If we take 165 away from 175, 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.

On to step 7:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10023.1
Subtract 55 from 100 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10023.18
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10023.181
If we take 55 away from 100, we end up 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10023.1818
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us 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 11:
100 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10023.18181
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10023.181818
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10023.1818181
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.

Step 14:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10023.18181818
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 10023.18181818 and a remainder of 1e-08.
