We divide 988211 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 988211.

Step 1:
55 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 98 to get 43.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 438 / 55

On to step 3:
When dividing 438 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 385 from 438, we get 53.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 532 / 55

Step 4:
532 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 179.0
Deduct 495 from 532 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 371 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 371 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 41.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1796.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 330 from 371.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 411 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17967.0
If we take 385 away from 411, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
260 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 40.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17967.4
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 220 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17967.47
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 9:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17967.472
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17967.4727
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17967.47272
Subtracting 110 from 150 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17967.472727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17967.4727272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17967.47272727
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 17967.47272727 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
