Let's divide 261039 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 261039 can be divided by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 261 4 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 220 from 261.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 410 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 410 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 25.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 385 from 410 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 253 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 253 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 474.0
If we take 220 away from 253, we end up with 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 55

Step 6:
55 can be fit into 339 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4746.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 330 from 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4746.1
If we take 55 away from 90, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4746.16
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4746.163
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 10:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4746.1636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4746.16363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4746.163636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4746.1636363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4746.16363636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 4746.16363636 with a remainder of 2e-08.
