We're dividing 998493 by 55 
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 998493.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 99 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 99 to get 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
55 can be fit into 448 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 440 from 448 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
84 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtracting 55 from 84 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 299 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1815.0
If we subtract 275 from 299, we get 24.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 243 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 243 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 23.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18154.0
Subtract 220 from 243 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18154.4
Subtracting 220 from 230 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.

Step 8:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18154.41
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 9:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18154.418
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18154.4181
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18154.41818
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.

Step 12:
100 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18154.418181
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18154.4181818
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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18154.41818181
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18154.41818181 with a balance of 4.5e-08.
