55726043 divided by 494 
Let's see how many times 494 fits into 55726043.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 494 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 494

Advancing to step 2:
494 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 557 / 494

Going ahead to step 3:
557 divided by 494 is 1 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 494 from 557, we get 63.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 632 / 494

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 494 fits into 632 1 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 138 after subtracting 494 from 632.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 138, then carry on: 1386 / 494

On to step 5:
When dividing 1386 by 494, we get 2 with a remainder of 398.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we take 988 away from 1386, we end up with 398.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 398, then carry on: 3980 / 494

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 3980 by 494, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1128.0
Subtract 3952 from 3980 to get 28.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 284 / 494

Step 7:
494 goes into 284 0 times with a remainder of 284.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11280.0
Subtracting 0 from 284 leaves us with 284.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 284, then carry on: 2843 / 494

Going ahead to step 8:
2843 divided by 494 is 5 with a remainder of 373.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112805.0
If we subtract 2470 from 2843, we get 373.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3730, and continue the process.

Step 9:
3730 divided by 494 is 7 with a remainder of 272.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112805.7
Deduct 3458 from 3730 and we're left with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Step 10:
494 goes into 2720 5 times with a remainder of 250.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112805.75
Deduct 2470 from 2720 and we're left with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
494 goes into 2500 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112805.755
If we take 2470 away from 2500, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 112805.755, and the remainder is 0.003.
