We divide 551587 by 99
We're looking to find how many times 99 goes into 551587.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 99

Step 2:
99 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 551 / 99

Step 3:
99 goes into 551 5 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 495 away from 551, we end up with 56.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 565 / 99

Moving on to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 565 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 495 away from 565, we end up with 70.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 708 / 99

Let's proceed to step 5:
708 divided by 99 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 557.0
Subtract 693 from 708 to get 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 99

Going ahead to step 6:
99 goes into 157 1 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5571.0
If we take 99 away from 157, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
99 can be fit into 580 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5571.5
Deduct 495 from 580 and we're left with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
99 can be fit into 850 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5571.58
Subtract 792 from 850 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
580 divided by 99 is 5 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5571.585
If we subtract 495 from 580, we get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
850 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5571.5858
Deduct 792 from 850 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 580 by 99, we get 5 and a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5571.58585
If we subtract 495 from 580, we get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
99 goes into 850 8 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5571.585858
If we take 792 away from 850, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
99 can be fit into 580 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5571.5858585
If we take 495 away from 580, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
850 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5571.58585858
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 792 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5571.58585858 with a balance of 5.8e-08.
