We're dividing 298846 by 55 
Our goal is to divide 298846 by 55.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 298 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 275 away from 298, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 goes into 238 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 220 from 238 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 55

Step 5:
55 can be fit into 184 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 543.0
Subtract 165 from 184 to get 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 196 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
55 can be fit into 196 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5433.0
Deduct 165 from 196 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 310 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5433.5
Subtract 275 from 310 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5433.56
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5433.563
Deduct 165 from 200 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5433.5636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5433.56363
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5433.563636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5433.5636363
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5433.56363636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5433.56363636 with a balance of 2e-08.
