We look at the division of 989718 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 989718.

Step 1:
55 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 98 to get 43.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 439 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
55 goes into 439 7 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 385 from 439, we get 54.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 55

Step 4:
547 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtracting 495 from 547 leaves us with 52.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 521 / 55

Step 5:
55 goes into 521 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1799.0
Subtracting 495 from 521 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 268 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
268 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17994.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 220 from 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17994.8
Subtracting 440 from 480 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17994.87
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.

Step 9:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17994.872
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.

Moving on to step 10:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17994.8727
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.

Step 11:
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: 17994.87272
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 12:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17994.872727
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17994.8727272
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 14:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17994.87272727
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.

After the division, we end up with 17994.87272727 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
