Let's divide 395317 by 55
Our goal is to divide 395317 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
55 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 55

Step 2:
If we divide 39 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 395 / 55

On to step 3:
55 goes into 395 7 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 385 from 395, we get 10.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 103 / 55

On to step 4:
55 goes into 103 1 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 55 from 103, we get 48.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 481 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
55 goes into 481 8 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 718.0
If we take 440 away from 481, we end up with 41.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 417 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
55 goes into 417 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7187.0
If we take 385 away from 417, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 320 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7187.5
Subtract 275 from 320 to 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.

On to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7187.58
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
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 9:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7187.581
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7187.5818
If we subtract 440 from 450, we 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 11:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7187.58181
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.

On to step 12:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7187.581818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7187.5818181
Subtract 55 from 100 to 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7187.58181818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7187.58181818, and the remainder is 1e-08.
