We look at the division of 55842788 by 747 
We want to figure out the number of times 55842788 can be divided by 747.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 747 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 747

Step 2:
55 divided by 747 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 558 / 747

On to step 3:
747 goes into 558 0 times with a remainder of 558.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 558, we end up with 558.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 558 and continue with: 5584 / 747

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 5584 by 747, we get 7 and a remainder of 355.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 355 after subtracting 5229 from 5584.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 355, then repeat: 3552 / 747

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 3552 by 747, we get 4 and a remainder of 564.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 2988 away from 3552, we end up with 564.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 564, then repeat: 5647 / 747

Advancing to step 6:
The number 747 fits into 5647 7 times, leaving a remainder of 418.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 747.0
Subtract 5229 from 5647 to get 418.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 418 and continue with: 4188 / 747

Step 7:
When dividing 4188 by 747, we get 5 with a remainder of 453.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7475.0
Subtract 3735 from 4188 to get 453.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 453, then repeat: 4538 / 747

Let's proceed to step 8:
747 can be fit into 4538 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 74756.0
Subtracting 4482 from 4538 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
747 can be fit into 560 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 560.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74756.0
If we subtract 0 from 560, we get 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
747 can be fit into 5600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 371.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74756.07
If we subtract 5229 from 5600, we get 371.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3710, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 3710 by 747, we get 4 with a remainder of 722.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74756.074
If we take 2988 away from 3710, we end up with 722.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 747 fits into 7220 9 times, leaving a remainder of 497.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74756.0749
The remainder is 497 after subtracting 6723 from 7220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4970, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 4970 by 747, we get 6 and a remainder of 488.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74756.07496
Subtract 4482 from 4970 to get 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
4880 divided by 747 is 6 with a remainder of 398.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74756.074966
If we take 4482 away from 4880, we end up with 398.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3980, and continue the process.

Our division results in 74756.074966 with a remaining 3.98e-05.
