Let's divide 948740 by 55
We want to divide 948740 by 55.

On to step 1:
55 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 94 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 94 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 94, we get 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 398 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 385 from 398 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
55 can be fit into 137 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtract 110 from 137 to get 27.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 274 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 274 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1724.0
Subtracting 220 from 274 leaves us with 54.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 540 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 540 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17249.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 495 from 540.
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 7:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17249.8
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17249.81
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17249.818
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.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 17249.8181
If we subtract 55 from 100, 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.

Step 11:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17249.81818
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.

Advancing to step 12:
100 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17249.818181
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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17249.8181818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17249.81818181
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 55 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17249.81818181 with a balance of 4.5e-08.
