Let's divide 714701 by 55
Our goal is to divide 714701 by 55.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 55

Step 2:
When dividing 71 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 55 from 71 leaves us with 16.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 164 / 55

Step 3:
When dividing 164 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 110 away from 164, we end up with 54.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
547 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtract 495 from 547 to get 52.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 520 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1299.0
If we take 495 away from 520, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 251 4 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12994.0
Subtracting 220 from 251 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 can be fit into 310 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12994.5
Subtracting 275 from 310 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 8:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12994.56
Subtract 330 from 350 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12994.563
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12994.5636
Subtract 330 from 350 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12994.56363
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12994.563636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12994.5636363
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12994.56363636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12994.56363636 with a remaining 2e-08.
