Let's divide 246883 by 55
Our goal is to divide 246883 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 55

On to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 246 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 220 from 246.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
55 can be fit into 268 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 220 from 268.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 488 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 448.0
Subtract 440 from 488 to get 48.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 483 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 483 8 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4488.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 440 from 483.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4488.7
If we subtract 385 from 430, 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.

Step 8:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4488.78
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4488.781
Subtracting 55 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4488.7818
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4488.78181
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4488.781818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4488.7818181
Subtracting 55 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4488.78181818
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 final outcome is 4488.78181818, with a leftover of 1e-08.
