Let's divide 737857 by 55
Our goal is to divide 737857 by 55.

Step 1:
The number 55 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 55

On to step 2:
73 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 73 to get 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 187 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 165 from 187 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 228 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 134.0
Deduct 220 from 228 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
55 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1341.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 55 from 85.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 307 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
307 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 32.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13415.0
Deduct 275 from 307 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13415.5
If we subtract 275 from 320, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13415.58
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13415.581
Subtracting 55 from 100 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13415.5818
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13415.58181
Subtract 55 from 100 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 12:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13415.581818
If we subtract 440 from 450, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13415.5818181
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13415.58181818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13415.58181818 with a remaining 1e-08.
