Let's divide 477854 by 55
Our goal is to divide 477854 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
55 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 55

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 477 / 55

Step 3:
The number 55 fits into 477 8 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 440 from 477, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
55 can be fit into 378 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we take 330 away from 378, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 485 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 485 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 45.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 868.0
Subtracting 440 from 485 leaves us with 45.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 454 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 454 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8688.0
Subtract 440 from 454 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
55 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8688.2
Subtracting 110 from 140 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 300 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8688.25
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8688.254
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 8688.2545
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8688.25454
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8688.254545
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.

On to step 13:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8688.2545454
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8688.25454545
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8688.25454545 with a balance of 2.5e-08.
