We're dividing 972662 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 972662.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 97, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 422 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
422 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 385 from 422 leaves us with 37.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 376 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 376 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we take 330 away from 376, we end up with 46.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 466 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
466 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1768.0
Subtract 440 from 466 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
55 goes into 262 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17684.0
Subtracting 220 from 262 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 420 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17684.7
If we take 385 away from 420, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17684.76
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17684.763
Deduct 165 from 200 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17684.7636
If we subtract 330 from 350, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17684.76363
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17684.763636
Subtract 330 from 350 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17684.7636363
If we subtract 165 from 200, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17684.76363636
Subtract 330 from 350 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17684.76363636, and the remainder is 2e-08.
