Let's divide 478527 by 55
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 478527.

Moving on to step 1:
55 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 55

On to step 2:
55 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 55

On to step 3:
If we divide 478 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 440 from 478 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 385 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 385 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Deduct 385 from 385 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
55 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 870.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 27 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8700.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
55 can be fit into 270 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8700.4
If we take 220 away from 270, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8700.49
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8700.49
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8700.4909
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8700.4909
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 12:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8700.490909
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.

Step 13:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8700.490909
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8700.49090909
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.

The final outcome is 8700.49090909, with a leftover of 5e-09.
