We divide 983993 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 983993 can be divided by 55.

Going ahead to step 1:
55 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
55 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 98, we get 43.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 433 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
433 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 385 from 433 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 489 / 55

Step 4:
55 can be fit into 489 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 440 from 489, we get 49.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 499 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 499 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1789.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 495 from 499.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
55 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17890.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 430 7 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17890.7
Deduct 385 from 430 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17890.78
Subtract 440 from 450 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17890.781
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 55 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 10:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17890.7818
If we subtract 440 from 450, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17890.78181
If we subtract 55 from 100, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17890.781818
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17890.7818181
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17890.78181818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17890.78181818 and a remainder of 1e-08.
