We're dividing 422720 by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 422720 can be divided by 55.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 55

On to step 2:
55 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 422 / 55

Step 3:
55 goes into 422 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 385 from 422 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 377 / 55

On to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 377 6 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we take 330 away from 377, we end up with 47.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 472 / 55

On to step 5:
If we divide 472 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 768.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 440 from 472.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 320 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
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: 7685.0
Subtracting 275 from 320 leaves us 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 7:
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: 7685.8
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7685.81
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7685.818
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.

Advancing to step 10:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7685.8181
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 11:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7685.81818
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7685.818181
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 13:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7685.8181818
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 14:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7685.81818181
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.

Our division results in 7685.81818181 with a remaining 4.5e-08.
