We divide 261520 by 55
We want to divide 261520 by 55.

Advancing 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 (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
55 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 55

Step 3:
55 can be fit into 261 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 220 from 261.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 415 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
55 can be fit into 415 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 385 from 415.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 302 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 302 5 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 475.0
If we take 275 away from 302, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 270 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 270 4 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4754.0
Subtracting 220 from 270 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4754.9
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4754.9
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 4754.909
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.

Step 10:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4754.909
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4754.90909
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4754.90909
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.

Moving on to step 13:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4754.9090909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4754.9090909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4754.9090909 with a remaining 5e-08.
