We're dividing 55379 by 16 
Our goal is to divide 55379 by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 16 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
16 goes into 55 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 48 from 55.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 16

Let's proceed to step 3:
16 goes into 73 4 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 64 from 73.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 16

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 97 by 16, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 346.0
Deduct 96 from 97 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
16 can be fit into 19 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3461.0
Subtract 16 from 19 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 30 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3461.1
If we take 16 away from 30, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
16 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3461.18
Deduct 128 from 140 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 16, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3461.187
Subtract 112 from 120 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 80 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3461.1875
Deduct 80 from 80 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3461.1875
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3461.1875
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

The final outcome is 3461.1875, with a leftover of 0.0.
