Let's divide 874861 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 874861.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 55

Step 2:
If we divide 87 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 87, we get 32.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 324 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 324 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 275 away from 324, we end up with 49.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 498 / 55

Step 4:
55 goes into 498 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 495 from 498, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 36 0 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1590.0
If we subtract 0 from 36, we get 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 361 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 361 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 31.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15906.0
If we take 330 away from 361, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 55 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15906.5
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 275 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 15906.56
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15906.563
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.

Moving on to step 10:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15906.5636
If we subtract 330 from 350, we 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.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15906.56363
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.

On to step 12:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15906.563636
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:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15906.5636363
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 14:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15906.56363636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 15906.56363636 with a remaining 2e-08.
