We're dividing 696881 by 55 
We want to divide 696881 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 55

On to step 2:
55 can be fit into 69 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 55 away from 69, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 146 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 can be fit into 146 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 110 from 146 leaves us with 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 368 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 126.0
If we subtract 330 from 368, we get 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 55

On to step 5:
55 goes into 388 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1267.0
Deduct 385 from 388 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 31 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12670.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12670.5
Deduct 275 from 310 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12670.56
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.

Advancing to step 9:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12670.563
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.

Advancing to step 10:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12670.5636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12670.56363
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 12:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12670.563636
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.

On to step 13:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12670.5636363
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12670.56363636
If we take 330 away from 350, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12670.56363636 with a balance of 2e-08.
