Let's divide 548982 by 55
We want to divide 548982 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 55, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
55 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 548 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 can be fit into 548 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 495 from 548, we get 53.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 539 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
539 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 495 from 539.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 448 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 448 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 998.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 440 from 448.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 55

Step 6:
When dividing 82 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9981.0
Deduct 55 from 82 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 50.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9981.4
If we take 220 away from 270, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9981.49
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9981.49
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9981.4909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9981.4909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9981.490909
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9981.490909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9981.49090909
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 9981.49090909 with a remainder of 5e-09.
