We divide 55720400 by 217
We're looking to find how many times 217 goes into 55720400.

Advancing to step 1:
217 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 217

Going ahead to step 2:
217 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 55 leaves us with 55.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 557 / 217

Going ahead to step 3:
557 divided by 217 is 2 with a remainder of 123.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 434 from 557 to get 123.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 123 and continue with: 1232 / 217

Step 4:
When dividing 1232 by 217, we get 5 with a remainder of 147.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 1085 from 1232 to get 147.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 147, then repeat: 1470 / 217

Step 5:
217 goes into 1470 6 times with a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256.0
If we take 1302 away from 1470, we end up with 168.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 168 and continue with: 1684 / 217

Going ahead to step 6:
217 goes into 1684 7 times with a remainder of 165.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2567.0
The remainder is 165 after subtracting 1519 from 1684.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 165, then repeat: 1650 / 217

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 1650 by 217, we get 7 with a remainder of 131.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25677.0
If we subtract 1519 from 1650, we get 131.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 131 and repeat the process: 1310 / 217

Step 8:
217 can be fit into 1310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256776.0
If we take 1302 away from 1310, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
80 divided by 217 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256776.0
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 217 fits into 800 3 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256776.03
Deduct 651 from 800 and we're left with 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 217 fits into 1490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256776.036
If we take 1302 away from 1490, we end up with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
1880 divided by 217 is 8 with a remainder of 144.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 256776.0368
Deduct 1736 from 1880 and we're left with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1440 by 217, we get 6 with a remainder of 138.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256776.03686
If we take 1302 away from 1440, we end up with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 217 fits into 1380 6 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 256776.036866
If we take 1302 away from 1380, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 256776.036866, and the remainder is 7.8e-06.
