We divide 255557 by 7
We want to divide 255557 by 7.

Advancing to step 1:
7 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 7

Step 2:
When dividing 25 by 7, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 21 from 25 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 7

Let's proceed to step 3:
7 goes into 45 6 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtracting 42 from 45 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 35 / 7

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 35 by 7, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 365.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 35 from 35.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 7

Step 5:
If we divide 5 by 7, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3650.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 7

Let's proceed to step 6:
7 goes into 57 8 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36508.0
If we take 56 away from 57, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 7, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36508.1
Subtracting 7 from 10 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
7 goes into 30 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 36508.14
If we take 28 away from 30, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 7, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36508.142
If we subtract 14 from 20, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 7, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 36508.1428
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
7 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36508.14285
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 35 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 50 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 36508.142857
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 49 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 10 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36508.1428571
Deduct 7 from 10 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 30 by 7, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36508.14285714
Subtract 28 from 30 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 36508.14285714 and a remainder of 2e-09.
