Let's divide 542240 by 55
We want to divide 542240 by 55.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 542 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
55 goes into 542 9 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 495 away from 542, we end up with 47.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 472 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
472 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 440 from 472.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 324 / 55

Step 5:
The number 55 fits into 324 5 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 985.0
Subtracting 275 from 324 leaves us with 49.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 490 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 490 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 50.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9858.0
Subtracting 440 from 490 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9858.9
If we subtract 495 from 500, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9858.9
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9858.909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9858.909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9858.90909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9858.90909
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9858.9090909
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9858.9090909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9858.9090909, and the remainder is 5e-08.
