Let's divide 873874 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 873874 can be divided by 55.

Step 1:
The number 55 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 87 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 323 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 323 5 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 275 from 323 and we're left with 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
488 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158.0
If we take 440 away from 488, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 55

Step 5:
The number 55 fits into 487 8 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1588.0
If we take 440 away from 487, we end up with 47.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 474 / 55

Step 6:
474 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15888.0
If we take 440 away from 474, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
55 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15888.6
Subtract 330 from 340 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15888.61
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15888.618
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15888.6181
If we subtract 55 from 100, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15888.61818
Subtract 440 from 450 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15888.618181
If we take 55 away from 100, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15888.6181818
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15888.61818181
If we subtract 55 from 100, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 15888.61818181, with a leftover of 4.5e-08.
