55438980 divided by 500 
We're looking to find how many times 500 goes into 55438980.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 500 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 500

Going ahead to step 2:
500 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 554 / 500

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 500 fits into 554 1 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 500 from 554 leaves us with 54.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 543 / 500

Moving on to step 4:
543 divided by 500 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 500 from 543.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 438 / 500

Let's proceed to step 5:
500 goes into 438 0 times with a remainder of 438.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 110.0
The remainder is 438 after subtracting 0 from 438.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 438, then repeat: 4389 / 500

Advancing to step 6:
4389 divided by 500 is 8 with a remainder of 389.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1108.0
Deduct 4000 from 4389 and we're left with 389.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 389 and repeat the process: 3898 / 500

Going ahead to step 7:
500 can be fit into 3898 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 398.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11087.0
The remainder is 398 after subtracting 3500 from 3898.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 398 and continue with: 3980 / 500

On to step 8:
If we divide 3980 by 500, we get 7 and a remainder of 480.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 110877.0
Subtract 3500 from 3980 to get 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
500 goes into 4800 9 times with a remainder of 300.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 110877.9
Subtracting 4500 from 4800 leaves us with 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 500 fits into 3000 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 110877.96
Subtract 3000 from 3000 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
0 divided by 500 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 110877.96
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
0 divided by 500 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 110877.96
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 110877.96 with a remainder of 0.0.
