We divide 280816 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 280816.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
28 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 280 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
55 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 275 from 280, we get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 55

Step 4:
58 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 55 from 58, we get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 55

On to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 510.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 316 / 55

On to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 316 5 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5105.0
If we take 275 away from 316, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
55 can be fit into 410 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5105.7
If we subtract 385 from 410, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5105.74
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5105.745
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5105.7454
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 220 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
300 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5105.74545
If we take 275 away from 300, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 12:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5105.745454
Subtract 220 from 250 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5105.7454545
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5105.74545454
Subtract 220 from 250 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5105.74545454 with a balance of 3e-08.
