Let's divide 306959 by 55
We want to divide 306959 by 55.

Step 1:
3 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
55 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 306 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 306 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 31.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 275 from 306 to get 31.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 319 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 goes into 319 5 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 275 from 319 to get 44.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 445 / 55

Step 5:
55 can be fit into 445 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 558.0
If we subtract 440 from 445, we get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 59 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5581.0
Subtracting 55 from 59 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
55 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5581.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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 8:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5581.07
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5581.072
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5581.0727
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5581.07272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5581.072727
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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5581.0727272
Deduct 110 from 150 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5581.07272727
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.

The final outcome is 5581.07272727, with a leftover of 1.5e-08.
