We look at the division of 172725 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 172725.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
17 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 55

On to step 3:
55 can be fit into 172 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 165 from 172 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 55

Step 4:
When dividing 77 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 55 from 77 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 222 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 goes into 222 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 314.0
If we take 220 away from 222, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 55

On to step 6:
When dividing 25 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3140.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3140.4
Subtract 220 from 250 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3140.45
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3140.454
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3140.4545
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3140.45454
Subtracting 220 from 250 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 300 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3140.454545
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 275 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 55 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3140.4545454
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3140.45454545
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 275 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3140.45454545, and the remainder is 2.5e-08.
