We're dividing 4505872 by 551 
Our goal is to divide 4505872 by 551.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 551 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 551

Advancing to step 2:
551 can be fit into 45 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 0 from 45.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 450 / 551

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 551 fits into 450 0 times, leaving a remainder of 450.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 450 after subtracting 0 from 450.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 450 and continue: 4505 / 551

Step 4:
551 goes into 4505 8 times with a remainder of 97.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 4408 from 4505 leaves us with 97.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 97, then repeat: 978 / 551

Let's proceed to step 5:
551 can be fit into 978 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 427.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtracting 551 from 978 leaves us with 427.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 427, then carry on: 4277 / 551

On to step 6:
The number 551 fits into 4277 7 times, leaving a remainder of 420.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 817.0
The remainder is 420 after subtracting 3857 from 4277.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 420 and continue with: 4202 / 551

Moving on to step 7:
4202 divided by 551 is 7 with a remainder of 345.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8177.0
Subtract 3857 from 4202 to get 345.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
551 can be fit into 3450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8177.6
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 3306 from 3450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 1440 by 551, we get 2 and a remainder of 338.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8177.62
Subtract 1102 from 1440 to get 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 551 fits into 3380 6 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8177.626
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 3306 from 3380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
551 goes into 740 1 times with a remainder of 189.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8177.6261
Subtracting 551 from 740 leaves us with 189.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1890, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 1890 by 551, we get 3 and a remainder of 237.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8177.62613
The remainder is 237 after subtracting 1653 from 1890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 2370 by 551, we get 4 and a remainder of 166.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8177.626134
If we take 2204 away from 2370, we end up with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
551 can be fit into 1660 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8177.6261343
If we subtract 1653 from 1660, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 551 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8177.6261343
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8177.6261343 with a balance of 7e-08.
