108721 ÷ 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 108721.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
10 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 can be fit into 108 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 55 from 108 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 537 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 can be fit into 537 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 495 from 537 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 55

Step 5:
If we divide 422 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 197.0
Subtract 385 from 422 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 371 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 371 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 41.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1976.0
Subtract 330 from 371 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 410 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1976.7
Subtract 385 from 410 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1976.74
Subtracting 220 from 250 leaves us 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:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1976.745
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1976.7454
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.

Step 11:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1976.74545
Subtract 275 from 300 to get 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:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1976.745454
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1976.7454545
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1976.74545454
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.

The final outcome is 1976.74545454, with a leftover of 3e-08.
