We're dividing 874587 by 55 
Our goal is to divide 874587 by 55.

On to step 1:
55 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 87 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 324 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
55 goes into 324 5 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 275 away from 324, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 495 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 495 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 495 from 495, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
8 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1590.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
87 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15901.0
If we subtract 55 from 87, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15901.5
Subtract 275 from 320 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 8:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15901.58
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.

Step 9:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15901.581
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15901.5818
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:
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: 15901.58181
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left 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 12:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15901.581818
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15901.5818181
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15901.58181818
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.

The final result is 15901.58181818 with a remainder of 1e-08.
