844742 divided by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 844742.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 84 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 84 to get 29.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 294 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 goes into 294 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 275 from 294.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 197 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 153.0
If we subtract 165 from 197, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 324 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
55 can be fit into 324 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1535.0
If we subtract 275 from 324, we get 49.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 492 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 492 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15358.0
If we subtract 440 from 492, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 25.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15358.9
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 495 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15358.94
If we take 220 away from 250, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15358.945
If we take 275 away from 300, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15358.9454
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 220 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
300 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15358.94545
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15358.945454
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 220 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15358.9454545
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 275 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15358.94545454
Subtract 220 from 250 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final result is 15358.94545454 with a remainder of 3e-08.
