We divide 78642975 by 55
We want to divide 78642975 by 55.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 55

On to step 2:
55 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 78, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
236 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 220 from 236 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 164 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtracting 110 from 164 leaves us with 54.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 542 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 542 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1429.0
Subtract 495 from 542 to get 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 479 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14298.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 440 from 479.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 397 / 55

Moving on to step 7:
397 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142987.0
Deduct 385 from 397 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 125 / 55

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 125 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1429872.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 110 from 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1429872.2
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1429872.27
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1429872.272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1429872.2727
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1429872.27272
Subtracting 110 from 150 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1429872.272727
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1429872.2727272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1429872.27272727
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1429872.27272727, and the remainder is 1.5e-08.
