We look at the division of 55588 by 16 
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 55588.

Step 1:
16 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 48 from 55, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 75 / 16

On to step 3:
16 goes into 75 4 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 64 from 75 to get 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 16

On to step 4:
16 goes into 118 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 347.0
Subtracting 112 from 118 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 68 by 16, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3474.0
Subtract 64 from 68 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
16 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3474.2
Deduct 32 from 40 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3474.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3474.25
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3474.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3474.25 and a remainder of 0.0.
