We're dividing 495979 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 495979.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 55

Step 2:
The number 55 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 495 / 55

On to step 3:
55 goes into 495 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 495 from 495, we get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 55

On to step 4:
9 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 901.0
If we take 55 away from 97, we end up with 42.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 429 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 429 7 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9017.0
If we take 385 away from 429, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9017.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 440 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9017.8
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
55 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9017.8
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 9017.8, with a leftover of 0.0.
