272408 ÷ 55 
We want to divide 272408 by 55.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 55

On to step 2:
27 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 272 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 220 from 272 and we're left with 52.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 524 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
524 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 495 away from 524, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 290 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 495.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 275 from 290.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 55

On to step 6:
55 can be fit into 158 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4952.0
Deduct 110 from 158 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
480 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4952.8
Subtract 440 from 480 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4952.87
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 9:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4952.872
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
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 10:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4952.8727
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4952.87272
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.

Step 12:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4952.872727
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.

Step 13:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4952.8727272
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.

Step 14:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4952.87272727
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.

Our division results in 4952.87272727 with a remaining 1.5e-08.
