We're dividing 55734041 by 283 
We want to divide 55734041 by 283.

On to step 1:
283 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
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 283

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 283, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 557 / 283

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 557 by 283, we get 1 with a remainder of 274.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 283 from 557 to get 274.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 274, then repeat: 2743 / 283

On to step 4:
When dividing 2743 by 283, we get 9 with a remainder of 196.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 2547 away from 2743, we end up with 196.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 196 and continue: 1964 / 283

On to step 5:
The number 283 fits into 1964 6 times, leaving a remainder of 266.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 196.0
The remainder is 266 after subtracting 1698 from 1964.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 266, then carry on: 2660 / 283

Step 6:
283 goes into 2660 9 times with a remainder of 113.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1969.0
Subtract 2547 from 2660 to get 113.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 113, then repeat: 1134 / 283

On to step 7:
1134 divided by 283 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19694.0
If we subtract 1132 from 1134, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 283

On to step 8:
The number 283 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 196940.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 283, we get 0 with a remainder of 210.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 196940.0
The remainder is 210 after subtracting 0 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
283 goes into 2100 7 times with a remainder of 119.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 196940.07
If we subtract 1981 from 2100, we get 119.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1190, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
283 goes into 1190 4 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 196940.074
Deduct 1132 from 1190 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 580 by 283, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 196940.0742
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 566 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
283 can be fit into 140 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 140.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 196940.0742
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 0 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
283 goes into 1400 4 times with a remainder of 268.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 196940.074204
Deduct 1132 from 1400 and we're left with 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 283 fits into 2680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 133.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 196940.0742049
The remainder is 133 after subtracting 2547 from 2680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
283 can be fit into 1330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 198.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 196940.07420494
Subtracting 1132 from 1330 leaves us with 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 196940.07420494 and a remainder of 1.98e-07.
