We look at the division of 218841 by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 218841 can be divided by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
21 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 218 3 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 165 from 218 to get 53.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 538 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
55 goes into 538 9 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Deduct 495 from 538 and we're left with 43.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 434 / 55

On to step 5:
434 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 49.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 397.0
Subtracting 385 from 434 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 491 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
491 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3978.0
Subtract 440 from 491 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
55 can be fit into 510 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3978.9
If we take 495 away from 510, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3978.92
Subtracting 110 from 150 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3978.927
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3978.9272
If we subtract 110 from 150, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3978.92727
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3978.927272
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3978.9272727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3978.92727272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 3978.92727272 with a remainder of 4e-08.
