Let's divide 55729737 by 478
We want to divide 55729737 by 478.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 478, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 478

Step 2:
When dividing 55 by 478, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 557 / 478

Advancing to step 3:
478 can be fit into 557 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 478 away from 557, we end up with 79.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 79, then carry on: 792 / 478

Step 4:
478 can be fit into 792 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 314.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 314 after subtracting 478 from 792.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 314 and continue with: 3149 / 478

Advancing to step 5:
3149 divided by 478 is 6 with a remainder of 281.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 116.0
If we take 2868 away from 3149, we end up with 281.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 281, then repeat: 2817 / 478

Advancing to step 6:
478 can be fit into 2817 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 427.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1165.0
The remainder is 427 after subtracting 2390 from 2817.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 427 and repeat the process: 4273 / 478

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 4273 by 478, we get 8 with a remainder of 449.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11658.0
Deduct 3824 from 4273 and we're left with 449.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 449, then repeat: 4497 / 478

Going ahead to step 8:
4497 divided by 478 is 9 with a remainder of 195.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 116589.0
If we take 4302 away from 4497, we end up with 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 1950 by 478, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 116589.4
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 1912 from 1950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 478 fits into 380 0 times, leaving a remainder of 380.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 116589.4
If we take 0 away from 380, we end up with 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
478 goes into 3800 7 times with a remainder of 454.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 116589.407
Deduct 3346 from 3800 and we're left with 454.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4540, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 478 fits into 4540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 238.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 116589.4079
If we take 4302 away from 4540, we end up with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
2380 divided by 478 is 4 with a remainder of 468.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 116589.40794
Deduct 1912 from 2380 and we're left with 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
478 can be fit into 4680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 378.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 116589.407949
Subtract 4302 from 4680 to get 378.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 3780 by 478, we get 7 with a remainder of 434.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 116589.4079497
If we subtract 3346 from 3780, we get 434.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4340, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
478 can be fit into 4340 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 116589.40794979
Subtracting 4302 from 4340 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 116589.40794979, with a leftover of 3.8e-08.
