We're dividing 985176 by 55 
We want to divide 985176 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
55 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 55

Step 2:
98 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 55 from 98.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 435 / 55

On to step 3:
55 goes into 435 7 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 385 from 435 and we're left with 50.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 501 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 501 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtracting 495 from 501 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 55

On to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 67 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1791.0
If we take 55 away from 67, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 126 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17912.0
Deduct 110 from 126 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
160 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 50.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17912.2
Subtracting 110 from 160 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.

On to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17912.29
If we take 495 away from 500, 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 9:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17912.29
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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 17912.2909
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.

Moving on to step 11:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17912.2909
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17912.290909
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.

Advancing to step 13:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17912.290909
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17912.29090909
If we take 495 away from 500, 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.

The final result is 17912.29090909 with a remainder of 5e-09.
