We look at the division of 587982 by 55 
We want to divide 587982 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 55 from 58 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
37 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 goes into 379 6 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 106.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 330 from 379.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 498 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 498 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1069.0
Subtracting 495 from 498 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 55

Step 6:
32 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10690.0
Subtracting 0 from 32 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10690.5
If we take 275 away from 320, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10690.58
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.

On to step 9:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10690.581
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10690.5818
Subtract 440 from 450 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10690.58181
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.

Step 12:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10690.581818
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10690.5818181
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 55 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 14:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10690.58181818
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 10690.58181818 with a remaining 1e-08.
