Let's divide 379242 by 55
We want to divide 379242 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
55 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 37 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 379 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 379 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 330 from 379 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 492 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
55 goes into 492 8 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 440 away from 492, we end up with 52.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 524 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 524 9 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 689.0
Subtract 495 from 524 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 292 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 292 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6895.0
Subtract 275 from 292 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
170 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6895.3
If we take 165 away from 170, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6895.3
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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.

Step 9:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6895.309
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6895.309
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6895.30909
Subtract 495 from 500 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6895.30909
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6895.3090909
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.

On 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: 6895.3090909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6895.3090909 with a remaining 5e-08.
