We divide 394873 by 55
We want to divide 394873 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 39 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 394 / 55

Step 3:
55 can be fit into 394 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 385 from 394, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 55

On to step 4:
98 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 55 from 98.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
55 can be fit into 437 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 717.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 385 from 437.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 523 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
523 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7179.0
Deduct 495 from 523 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7179.5
Subtracting 275 from 280 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7179.5
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7179.509
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7179.509
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7179.50909
If we subtract 495 from 500, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7179.50909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7179.5090909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7179.5090909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7179.5090909 with a balance of 5e-08.
