We're dividing 478042 by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 478042 can be divided by 55.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
55 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
478 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 440 from 478, we get 38.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 380 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
380 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 50.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 86.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 330 from 380.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 504 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 504 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 869.0
If we subtract 495 from 504, we get 9.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 92 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 92 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8691.0
Subtracting 55 from 92 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
370 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8691.6
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 330 from 370.
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 8:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8691.67
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 8691.672
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.

Step 10:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8691.6727
If we take 385 away from 400, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8691.67272
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.

On to step 12:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8691.672727
If we take 385 away from 400, 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8691.6727272
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8691.67272727
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.

The final outcome is 8691.67272727, with a leftover of 1.5e-08.
