271740 ÷ 55 
Our goal is to divide 271740 by 55.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 55

Step 2:
55 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 271 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 220 from 271, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 517 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 goes into 517 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 495 from 517 to get 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 55

Step 5:
The number 55 fits into 224 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 494.0
Subtracting 220 from 224 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 40 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4940.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4940.7
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4940.72
If we subtract 110 from 150, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4940.727
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4940.7272
If we subtract 110 from 150, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4940.72727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4940.727272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4940.7272727
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4940.72727272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4940.72727272 with a remaining 4e-08.
