We divide 957961 by 55
We want to divide 957961 by 55.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 95 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 95 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 55

On to step 3:
If we divide 407 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 385 from 407, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 229 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 220 from 229 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 55

Step 5:
If we divide 96 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1741.0
Deduct 55 from 96 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 55

Step 6:
55 can be fit into 411 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17417.0
If we take 385 away from 411, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17417.4
Deduct 220 from 260 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17417.47
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17417.472
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17417.4727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17417.47272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17417.472727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17417.4727272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17417.47272727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17417.47272727 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
