Let's divide 281529 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 281529 can be divided by 55.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 55

On to step 3:
281 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 275 from 281, we get 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
65 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 55 from 65 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 102 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 511.0
If we subtract 55 from 102, we get 47.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 479 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
55 goes into 479 8 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5118.0
Deduct 440 from 479 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 can be fit into 390 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5118.7
Subtracting 385 from 390 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5118.7
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5118.709
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us 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 10:
When dividing 50 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5118.709
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 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 11:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5118.70909
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5118.70909
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 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 13:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5118.7090909
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5118.7090909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5118.7090909 and a remainder of 5e-08.
